SDLM-025-070-01-01 and SDLM-025-070-01-05 direct drive linear motors from Moticont, also known as electric cylinders, have built-in encoders, and feature high acceleration, high speed, high resolution, zero backlash, and zero cogging. These compact direct-drive linear motors with quiet linear plain bearings are just 1.00 in. (25.4 mm) in diameter and 2.75 in (69.9 mm) long. Protected […]
Parker Hannifin high-precision electromechanical solutions at Photonics West 2019
Parker’s Electromechanical and Drives Division will be exhibiting at SPIE Photonics West 2019 in San Francisco, February 5 to 7, 2019. Every year, more than 20,000 attendees come to the world’s largest photonics technologies event to learn about the latest research as well as find the latest devices and systems that use new technologies to […]
When did the most common linear-actuator options come about?
This is the first of several technical notes on the technology known as moving coil actuators. Here we provide a brief history of linear actuators used in automation — and hint at where moving coil actuators are suitable. By Ed Neff • President | SMAC Moving Coil Actuators (MCA) Hydraulic actuators came first. These devices […]

Available in three sizes, with travels lengths up to 5,500 mm and speeds to 5,000 mm/s, these electric base […]
Official opening of SERAPID Group subsidiary SERAPID Singapore Pty. Ltd.
As part of its international growth strategy, SERAPID Group (a leading supplier of lifts, quick-die-change, and horizontal transfer systems) has opened a new regional office in Singapore. Mr. Robert Degenkolb, formerly of JR Clancy, is joining the organization as Managing Director. Robert has 32 years of experience in the entertainment industry in project management and […]
Under development: Linear stroke-extending technology from Ascending Power
In a recent email exchange with London-based John Hammerbeck of Ascending Power, we learned more about a novel new linear-motion extension technology from the company. The actuator steps up a short input stroke to a long output stroke using either kinematic linkages or permanent magnets. Below is a SolidWorks animation of the linkage variation; depending […]
Thomson online product sizing and selection tool for linear-motion systems
Thomson Industries has enhanced its Linear MOTIONEERING product -sizing and selection tool for linear motion systems. The tool reduces time for component selection from hours to less than 15 minutes. The upgraded resource also incorporates the RediMount motor mounting adapter kit — the default standard for Thomson linear motion systems and precision linear actuators. The […]
Compact voice-coil motors from Moticont with 1.0-in. diameters for myriad stroke requirements
Moticont now sells linear voice coil motors (LVCMs) in two 1-in. (25.4-mm) diameter motors. • The LVCM-025-022-01 has a stroke length of 0.375 in. (9.5 mm) a mid-stroke length of 1.30 in. (33 mm) and a high-force-to-size ratio of 16.9 oz (4.7 N) and a peak force of 53.5 oz. (14.9 N) at 10% duty […]
High-force iron-core brushless linear motor from H2W Technologies
H2W engineers have developed a compact high force brushless linear motor (BLSM-1F) that can generate 300 lb (1330 N) at a 10% duty cycle and 100 lb (444 N) at a 100% duty cycle, and, when used with a matching magnet track (BLST-FSX). The mass of the coil assembly is 19 lb (9 kg) which […]
New SMAC LBL25 linear actuators — fast, cost-competitive, and stackable
SMAC Moving Coil Actuators now sells LBL series linear actuators — price competitive with ball screw and high-cycle-rate air cylinders thanks to a simple no-milling plate design. The LBL design features flat printed coil and single-piece, screw down magnets. It’s equipped with SMAC proprietary encoder and gives more than 100 million cycle expected life. Starting […]
