Linear motors are synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...

A line of Nippon Pulse’s linear shaft motors that features analog Hall effect sensors to enable closed-loop positioning without a linear encoder. Linear motors can be described as uncurled 3-phase ...

Tesseract Technologies, Formnext Awards finalist in the Rookie category, has developed affordable linear motors for ...

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 experiment ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

Novel bi-phase piezo motor enables accurate linear motion in an extremely compact package, new from PI. PI’s B-421 miniaturized piezo stages provide 10 nm positioning resolution in an extremely ...

Launching things with electromagnetism is pretty fun, with linear induction motors being a popular design that finds use from everywhere in hobby designs like [Tom Stanton]’s to the electromagnetic ...

Since Linear Labs was founded in 2018, the company has raised $20 million to fund operations. So far, the biggest roadblock has been convincing prospective customers that the innovative motor isn’t ...
