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 ...

Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, constant-traverse speed for machine heads and slides, as well as tool and part-handling systems. A variety of ...

Any electrical motor, from an idealized viewpoint, consists of two sets of magnets—one set stationary, one set free to move—placed in special geometric relation to one another. For most practical ...

The things often prioritized in the list of requirements of design engineers from the precision automation sector are different from those of their colleagues in the instrumentation industry. Dynamic ...

V-738 XY-stages are motorized linear stages driven by linear motors and used in many precision motion and laser machining industrial applications. https://www.pi-usa ...

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 ...

Dunkermotor, now part of AMETEK Precision Motion Control, has released its first ServoTube linear motors and actuators catalog with technical specifications and drawings that cover 1,346 standard ...

CHANGZHOU, JIANGSU, CHINA, March 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In the rapidly evolving landscape of haptic feedback technology, the role of the Global Leading LRA ...

The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...

This document written by Steve Bowling, Application Segments Engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses how motor works and describes the AC induction motor, variable-speed ACIM control, and FOC.
