A new weld head from Emhart Fastening Teknologies features a linear-motor drive that precisely times and controls lift heights, plunge velocity, and depth penetration of each attachment during welding ...

Ok, I lied. This is more of a "do my math" request than a question. I'm working on a project that requires lifting a 10 lb load vertically using a lead screw (threaded shaft) and then lowering it ...

In terms of bandwidth, linear motors provide high performance in applications involving rapid short-distance increments. This is particularly true for repetitive X-Y positioning systems, where the ...

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 ...
