What are iron core linear motors?

February 3, 2016 By Danielle Collins 2 Comments

Iron Core Linear Motors

Linear motors are often classified as either ironless or iron core, referring to how their primary parts are constructed. Ironless linear motors have a primary made of windings that are embedded in epoxy resin. In iron core linear motors, the windings are mounted in an iron lamination stack. Like the rotor and stator of a […]

Linear motors explained

June 19, 2015 By Danielle Collins 1 Comment

The use of linear motors in industries as diverse as packaging and semiconductor manufacturing is a testament to their suitability for a wide range of applications. In recent years, manufacturers have worked hard to remove the “mystique” that for so long surrounded these products and hindered their widespread usage, but linear motors still face several challenges […]
