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 major issue with all parallel-drive systems is orthogonal alignment. • The dynamic motion generated by any two identical linear-shaft motors is the same ...

The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. But large air gaps and low efficiencies prevented linear motors from being widely used. Though they still have relatively ...

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 ...

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 ...

Once considered expensive and exotic, linear motors are at last becoming valuable workhorses in a variety of OEM applications. Besides delivering nanometer precision in the semiconductor and machine ...

Precision automation systems and instrumentation equipment manufacturers depend on motion components in applications from micro-mechanical assembly to optical scanning. PI offers a wide range of ...

To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...
