Ok, I lied. This is more of a "do my math" request than a question. I'm working on a project that requires lifting a 10 lb load vertically using a lead screw (threaded shaft) and then lowering it ...

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 synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...

A programmable linear actuator combines mechanical drive, guidance, and control in a single component. The programmable motorized SplineRail linear actuator uses a size-17 single- or double-stack ...

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, ...
