Testing, 1, 2, 3 One area where moving-magnet motors are already making an impact is test instruments. The motors are bridging the gap between traditional servo-hydraulic and DMTA technologies.

After evaluating several solutions, engineers chose a linear step motor, mounting the tray on the motor. It smoothly moves the tray in small increments, 12,500 steps/in., meeting the application ...

We’ve all heard linear motors, like those propelling Maglev trains, described as “unrolled” versions of regular electric motors. The analogy is apt and helps to understand how a l… ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as … ...

Linear motors include myosins, kinesins and dyneins, that “walk” along actin filaments or microtubules, and generate mechanical motion using energy from ATP hydrolysis.

When most engineers hear the term motor they most-naturally think of rotating arrangements such as brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper, or variable-frequency prime movers. But a motor doesn’t have to be ...

Moticont has released a new miniature, high force-to-size Linear Voice Coil Servo Motor, the LVCM-013-013-03M (Metric version ...

XYZ configuration of two V-417 Linear Motor Stages in XY configuration and one L-412 ball-screw driven linear stage as the vertical axis. Linear motors satisfy the high dynamics and low maintenance ...

In addition to generating both the lift and the lateral motion required in pick-and-place machines with only a single linear track and a single forcer (consisting of three coils), the technology ...
