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 ...

MIT researchers have built a 3D-printing platform that can fabricate fully functional electric machines ...

Advances in motor design have allowed different types of robots to both specialize for industrial functions and converge in precision.

A broken motor in an automated machine can bring production on a busy factory floor to a halt. If engineers can't find a ...

With its Hunstable Electric Turbine, Linear Labs promises three times the torque, twice the power and a 10% increase in range in an electric vehicle over a typical permanent magnet motor. One problem ...

In terms of bandwidth, linear motors provide high performance in applications involving rapid short-distance increments. This is particularly true for repetitive X-Y positioning systems, where the ...

With the electric vehicle (EV) market heating up and due to become ever hotter, there’s a lot of focus on the key components that go into this major evolution of transportation technologies. Batteries ...

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 ...

Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, constant-traverse speed for machine heads and slides, as well as tool and part-handling systems. A variety of ...
