Stepper motors, gear trains and timing belts from old ScanJets can be found for pocket change any day of the week. For cheap and accurate linear motion, we couldn’t come up with a build that ...

Iron-core motors: Iron-core motors are most common, and suitable for general automation applications. Iron-core refers to this motor's coil construction, which consists of iron-core laminations.

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 a design ...

PInano® and PIFOC® Objective Sample Scanners for Microscopy PI’s Motion Centric Industrial Solutions for Industrial Automation PI Offers PICMA-Walk V8 Piezo Linear Motor with Nanometer Precision ...

According to Texchange, not only should the system be more energy-efficient than using heavier motor-equipped carts, but it should also be more reliable, more robust, and allow for the climbing of ...

The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. But large air gaps and low efficiencies ...

Linear Labs makes some enormous claims about its innovative electric motor design: two to five times the torque, three times the power, 20 percent greater efficiency, less complex powertrains, no ...

Sodick's MC430L and MC640 linear-motor-driven, high-speed machining centers are compact and require little floorspace. Both have 40,000-rpm spindles and 1-G axis-acceleration rates. Axis travels ...

The Accretech Surfcom 1900SD/DX surface/ contourmeasuring device uses a linear motor with a noncontact drive and simple structure (no lead screw or gear box) for stable, vibration-free operation over ...

A 15lb 6" stroke linear is under $100 and the Igus parts are going to be well less than $100. If space is a concern, where you don't have the length for a LA, Igus drylin E.
