Linear motors find a home in CNC machines

★ By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

linear motors

For one manufacturer of CNC grinding machines, new high-performance linear motors replaced ball-screws and improved machine performance. It’s no secret that linear motors are highly effective motion devices. Linear motors can achieve high acceleration rates and long travel lengths with good thrust forces and extremely high positioning accuracies, while other drive mechanisms, such as belts, […]

Tubular linear motors for gantry applications

★ By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

nippon-pulse-l427-linear-shaft-servomotor

Linear motors are often thought of as either flat or U-channel designs. But tubular, or shaft-type, linear motors have a construction principle that provides higher efficiency and makes them especially well-suited for gantry applications. Benefits of cylindrical design Tubular linear motors consist of a thrust rod (or tube) with permanent magnets and a stator (sometimes referred […]
