A line of Nippon Pulse’s linear shaft motors that features analog Hall effect sensors to enable closed-loop positioning without a linear encoder. Linear motors can be described as uncurled 3-phase ...

Researchers at Philips Applied Technologies have developed an innovative technique that allows standard linear motors to simultaneously provide movement along two axes rather than along a single axis.

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 ...

Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A key part of achieving this performance is the integration of drives with ...

Beckhoff’s AL8000 linear motors can now deliver greater accuracy and synchronization with the company’s new TwinCAT Cogging Compensation software. According to Beckhoff, this software enables linear ...

The team, based at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, demonstrated the system by printing an electric linear motor – the type that generates straight-line motion instead of ...
