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 ...

Pneumatic and hydraulic linear actuators operate on pressure differentials; electromechanical actuators are either linear motors or rotary types. Other differences abound. Mark Lemire, Product manager ...

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.

There are a number of linear motion technologies availableto machine and device designers, each with advantages and disadvantages.Medical device design in particular, in which applications typically ...

A wide variety of industries operate factories with large-format manufacturing lines, creating a need for long-travel motion axes and transfer robots. Some of these gantry and Cartesian robots can ...

The new low-inertia, direct-drive, Micro Linear family of motors is designed for precision positioning and scanning applications in medical/biotech instrumentation. The motors are said to be ideal for ...

Rotary servo drive and its first cousins, linear motors, may be coming to packaging-or maybe not, depending on whom you talk to. A few packaging machine builders are looking at the super flexibility ...

The P3 is a robust, linear motor-driven stage featuring speeds up to 5m/s at 10g, and high acceleration capacity. The linear motor coil is integrated into the top assembly plate, allowing optimized ...

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Smarter energy company Linear Labs has launched production of its new High Torque and Ultra High Efficiency electric motor and new intelligence drive system, called ...

Linear-motor driven plunger pumps are most efficient at transforming mechanical energy to hydraulic work in low-producing and highly deviated wells. Linear-motor driven plunger pumps (LMDPP) are most ...
