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 ...

This eBook places the focus on the effective design of motion control solutions for industrial machinery. Learn about applications in Cartesian robots, or long-travel linear robots, where the ...

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, ...

Advances in motor design have allowed different types of robots to both specialize for industrial functions and converge in precision.

Linear motion positioning stages are found in many applications from material handling and assembly to inspection and testing and employ many different technologies. Just looking at the different ...

Integrated motion control allows all kinds of robots to tackle a range of tasks with precision, in contrast with conventional machinery.

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 ...

To achieve EV potential by squeezing more functionality into a given volume, and delivering value at a compelling price point, means there are strong incentives for integrating motor and inverter.
