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 ...

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 proliferating. They give machines the absolute highest precision and dynamic performance. Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, ...

Latest version contains detailed overview of drive technologies. Aldermaston - UK, February 2011: Aerotech has released an updated edition of its popular Linear Motors Application Guide including a ...

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 ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

The P-653 piezo motor linear slide is significantly smaller than other available linear stages and provides higher resolution and velocity. The true linear motor system consists of only four parts, is ...

Modeling a railroad is hard. Railroads are large, linear pieces of civil engineering. So many modelers are drawn to the smallest scale they can use. Recently a new scale, named T, at 1:450 has been ...

PI's new P-653 OEM piezo motor / linear actuator is smaller & faster than mini motors. This patented, 8mm long true linear motor system (no rotation conversion) consists of only 4 parts and can ...

A Texas-based startup has raised US$4.5 million in seed funding to develop and commercialize a remarkable electric motor technology. The father/son team claims the design can massively reduce the size ...
