Submersible/Harsh Environment Linear Shaft Motor
The Linear Shaft Motor, from Nippon Pulse America, has no backlash, no wear and provides extremely smooth motion. Because the Linear Shaft Motor is a simple mechanical design consisting of only a forcer (coils) and magnetic shaft, it is virtually maintenance free, creates minimal noise and operates well in harsh and wash down environments. The … Continue reading Submersible/Harsh Environment Linear Shaft Motor
Miniature Voice Coil Motor Stage by Akribis Systems
The MGV is a compact series of voice coil stages by Akribis Systems that features cross roller bearings and an encoder resolution of up to 20nm. Due to the direct coupling of the load directly to the motor it is suitable for high seed and high acceleration applications. Akribis voice coil motors are one of … Continue reading Miniature Voice Coil Motor Stage by Akribis Systems
Do you know the difference between these 10 types of servomotors?
Servomotors are generally used as a high performance alternative to the stepper motor. Stepper motors have some inherent ability to control position, as they have built-in output steps. This often allows them to be used as an open-loop position control, without any feedback encoder, as their drive signal specifies the number of steps of movement … Continue reading Do you know the difference between these 10 types of servomotors?
New TM12 Iron Core Linear Motor by Tecnotion BV
Almelo, Netherlands - The rare earths present in the permanent magnets of linear motors are a cost-intensive factor. Against this background, the linear motor specialist Tecnotion expands its product portfolio with a new iron core motor: the TM12 is the third in the TM series, producing the same force as motors containing larger, more expensive magnets. … Continue reading New TM12 Iron Core Linear Motor by Tecnotion BV
Understanding the Linear Shaft Servomotor
Nippon Pulse’s Linear Shaft Motor is a brushless, high-precision direct drive linear servo motor with a tubular design. The motor consists of a magnetic shaft and coil assembly (forcer), and is driven and controlled by the flow of current. The Linear Shaft Motor can replace ball-screws, pneumatics, U-shaped motors and other linear motion systems. Design … Continue reading Understanding the Linear Shaft Servomotor
Linear Motor vs. Ball Screw
Reprint of a December 2, 2014 Design World White Paper by Danielle Collins While ironless linear motors have been used in semiconductor and electronic applications for more than a decade, they are still viewed by many designers and OEMs as “niche” products. But the perception of linear motors as a costly solution for unique applications … Continue reading Linear Motor vs. Ball Screw
