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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

The Drives & Motion Division of Yaskawa America, Inc. is pleased to announce the introduction of Sigma Trac II series linear servo motors stages to the Sigma-7 servo family. Sigma Trac II combines a ...

The demo shows high speed scan and alignment https://www.pi-usa.us/en/tech-blog/search-blog-posts-by-category/photonics/ motion with two direct-drive linear stages ...

This latest addition to the LT family of linear motor stages delivers 260N of rated force and up to 500N maximum. This linear motor uses direct drive technology that is free of mechanical power ...

Visitors to the International Manufacturing Technology Show (Sept. 9-15, booth 4104) will be able to see a linear motor made for high-force applications. The design is intended to replace ball-screw ...
