Linear motion is central to many moving machines, and the direct-drive nature of linear motors can simplify overall machine design in these applications.

One type, linear shaft motors, consists of stationary, cylindrically wound coils and a smooth, nonferrous moving rod; inside the latter is a series of rare earth-iron-boron (NIB) permanent magnets ...

Dunkermotor, now part of AMETEK Precision Motion Control, has released its first ServoTube linear motors and actuators catalog with technical specifications and drawings that cover 1,346 standard ...

The recent advances in arc-linear motors with particular reference to motor topologies, working principles, performances evaluation, and optimization and control techniques. Peer-Reviewed Publication ...

Visitors to the International Manufacturing Technology Show (Sept. 9-15, booth 4104) will be able to see a linear motor made for high-force applications. The design is intended to replace ball-screw ...

The compact WaferMax Z offers direct position feedback with a high-accuracy encoder in its non-contact linear motor drive. It uses cross-roller-style bearing elements mounted on a base and wedge ...
