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, ...

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 ...

Rolling-ring mechanical drives are simple, efficient, robust, and can eliminate the need for electronic controls. Bob Eisele, Amacoil Inc., Aston, Pa. Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that ...

V-738 XY-stages are motorized linear stages driven by linear motors and used in many precision motion and laser machining industrial applications. The XY stage shown above is driven by linear motors ...

The LBIM-021 series of linear three-phase brushless servo motors from Moticont are sized to fit a broad range of linear motion applications. The series is comprised of four sizes of forcers (the ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators. Stepper motor linear actuators with added optical encoders (From ...

Based on differences in friction characteristics, screws are primarily classified into three categories: sliding screws, rolling screws, and hydrostatic screws. Among these, rolling screws are widely ...

A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom of movement that ...

The working principle of the planetary roller screw is relatively simple yet extremely efficient: a motor drives the screw shaft to rotate, and through the rolling of multiple rollers between the ...
