Linear Motors Quick Select Guide

Our linear motors are direct drive and consist of a noncontacting forcer coil and “U-channel” rare-earth magnet track. This linear motor design eliminates backlash, wear, windup, and maintenance issues associated with ball screw, belt, and rack and pinion based motion control and positioning systems. A maintenance-free system is a result of the noncontact design of the forcer and magnet track. Travel lengths for our linear motors are unlimited due to our stackable magnet track system. We can provide linear motors as stand-alone asssemblies or as complete linear motor stage solutions. Our “U-channel” brushless linear servomotors have demonstrated ideal for robots, actuators, fibre optics/photonics alignment and positioning, tables/stages, machine tools, assembly, semiconductor equipment, electronic manufacturing, vision systems, and in many other industrial automation applications. We manufacture a complete line of linear motors to meet the requirements of your industrial automation application. Download the Linear Motor Application Guide here. The guide provides the history, principles, types, and benefits of linear motors.
