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 ...

In applications demanding precision and throughput, linear motor production systems usually need to be built from the ground up. Fractional microns accuracy requires feedback from an optical encoder, ...

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 ...

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 ...

New electric cylinders that utilize patented tubular linear motor technology are electrically driven, drop-in alternatives to their pneumatic counterparts, offering similar dimensions and mechanical ...
