RC servos are a common component in many robotics projects, but [Giovanni Leal] needed linear motion instead of the rotary actuation that servos normally offer. The 3D Printed Mini Linear Actuator was ...

Minimotor always had the awareness for markets, products and technologies, as well as the flexibility and availability to react to external influences, demands and trends, i.e. provide market & ...

Rockwell Automation (Anorad brand) has introduced a new series of miniature motors to its portfolio of high-performance brushless linear servo motor products. The LEU Series is an ironless core, ...

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 ...

The LVCM-010-013-01 linear voice coil motor is 0.375 in. (9.5 mm) in diameter and the length at mid-stroke is 0.81 in. (20.7 mm) long. This miniature voice coil motor has a high force-to-size ratio ...

The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. But large air gaps and low efficiencies prevented linear motors from being widely used. Though they still have relatively ...

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 ...

Compact linear translation stage family combines speed, precision, versatility, new from PI. With a footprint of just 80x80mm for the 40mm version, the V-141 is ideal for compact integration in OEM ...

Size plays a key role in miniaturization and automation, where smaller is usually better. Conventional electromagnetic motors have certain restrictions when it comes to reducing dimensions while ...

To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...
