Machine and robot builders recognize linear motor benefits, but some are reluctant to integrate the components into design because of incomplete understanding of the technology. Here we overcome that ...

Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

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 ...

Researchers at Philips Applied Technologies have developed an innovative technique that allows standard linear motors to simultaneously provide movement along two axes rather than along a single axis.

A high performance voice-coil driven nanopositioning slide for high speed precision laser processing and surface metrology applications in industrial automation. Applications of fast focus motor ...

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 ...
