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 ...

Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

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 ...

PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning technology, has introduced its Modular Precision Linear (MPL) stage family, a configurable platform designed to ...
