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 ...

We’ve all heard linear motors, like those propelling Maglev trains, described as “unrolled” versions of regular electric motors. The analogy is apt and helps to understand how a linear motor works, ...

Nippon Pulse Motor introduces the Captive LINEARSTEP Series: Linear-Type Stepper Motor, a RoHS compliant, linear-type stepper motor with a one-piece captive shaft. The guideless, linear shaft movement ...

When a product engineer is tasked to design a machine that requires precise linear positioning, how would one go about accomplishing this? What's the most straightforward and effective method while ...

Rotary motor motion is usually converted to linear through rack and pinion sets, belts and pulleys, and other mechanical linkages. These are effective Rotary motor motion is usually converted to ...

Smooth Motor, a global supplier with 30 years of experience in professional motion solutions, has been selected to join the ...

Described as a low-cost, high-performance component, the company's two-phase, linear stepper motor specifies a 1-mm (0.00004") resolution and promises easy integration into unique and existing ...

AutomationDirect has added stepper motor linear actuators to its SureStep line of stepper motion control products. These linear actuators are NEMA 17 or NEMA 23 frame stepper motors with a ...

The HoneyComb Series linear stepper x-y positioning base features a novel honeycomb-structured composite material to reduce the cost of applying advanced linear motor technology. The base’s moving ...
