A majority of automated systems using linearmotors today rely on a rotary servo motor coupled to a ball screw,belt-drive, rack-and-pinion, or even a cam-follower mechanism which convert therotary ...

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 ...

Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

For rotary or linear motors, motion is produced in the same way and the same basic physics and electromagnetic forces apply. The theory that produces "torque" in a rotary motor produces "force" in a ...

Many applications call for the use of electromechanical linear actuation — which includes electric motors paired with various mechanical components for controlled movement of equipment or payloads.

Linear induction motors (LIMs) convert electrical energy into linear thrust without intermediary mechanical transmission, rendering them ideal for applications ranging from urban rail transit and ...

Certain approaches simplify the sizing, integration, and protecting of tubular linear motors destined for thermally constrained applications — and they don’t necessarily rely on the use of large and ...

Since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis at the latest, the pharmaceutical industry and laboratories have been under pressure to realize the highest possible levels of automation. Necessary here ...

Motor selection plays a vital role in the precision and accuracy of electronic pipettes by defining the force, speed, smoothness, and positional fidelity of the piston’s movement. These will vary in ...
