A new weld head from Emhart Fastening Teknologies features a linear-motor drive that precisely times and controls lift heights, plunge velocity, and depth penetration of each attachment during welding ...

Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A ...

V-738 XY-stages are motorized linear stages driven by linear motors and used in many precision motion and laser machining industrial applications. The XY stage shown above is driven by linear motors ...

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 ...

The LBIM-021 series of linear three-phase brushless servo motors from Moticont are sized to fit a broad range of linear motion applications. The series is comprised of four sizes of forcers (the ...

Encoders are the most widely used feedback devices for electric motor control, capable of delivering precise position and speed feedback for closed-loop performance. With numerous technology options ...

Infineon has created a pair of motor controllers for small automotive electric motors.

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.

While local suppliers tend to dominate in Japan and Korea, the market in China has been open to international diversity, but Chinese suppliers are beginning to get a stronger hold. Linear and torque ...

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 ...

Linear induction motors (LIMs) are specialised electromagnetic machines that convert electrical energy directly into linear force, thereby eliminating the intermediary rotary step inherent in ...
