This video shows the various components of PI ironless linear motors as well as their working principle. Ironless linear motors are a type of brushless direct drive linear motors. They provide very ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The MEDevice show bridges the best in traditional medical device manufacturing and adjacent advanced manufacturing markets, bringing engineers as well as business and technology leaders together in a ...

MIT’s tool prints distinct materials to build a working motor ...

Modular Precision Linear stages offer a configurable platform for high-precision linear positioning, with online selection of mechanical, drive, and feedback options. (Nanowerk News) PI (Physik ...
