Machine and robot builders recognize linear motor benefits, but some are reluctant to integrate the components into design because of incomplete understanding of the technology. Here we overcome that ...

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 ...

When most engineers hear the term motor they most-naturally think of rotating arrangements such as brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper, or variable-frequency prime movers. But a motor doesn’t have to be ...

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 ...

In the next few weeks, linear motors will face their ultimate litmus test. After years in the eye of a swirling technical storm, surrounded by doubters who say they're too expensive, supported by a ...
