When designing a linear motor into your application, it’s important to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each of the three types of direct drive linear motor systems available today.

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, ...

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 ...

Moore's Law, famous for predicting exponential gains in semiconductor chip density, has long endured thanks in large part to advances in linear motor Moore's Law, famous for predicting exponential ...

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 ...

Precision automation systems and instrumentation equipment manufacturers depend on motion components in applications from micro-mechanical assembly to optical scanning. PI offers a wide range of ...
