Impacts on Linear Motion Selection, Optimization, and Integration

Aug. 15, 2024
Linear motors provide exceptional and stable performance over the life of machines.

Linear motors generate force rather than torque and are characterized by an ability to provide high forces and high speeds with compact design. The scope of applications for linear motors is boundless. 

Download the eBook Impacts on Linear Motion Selection, Optimization, and Integration to learn about:

  • Pick-and-Place Robots: Explore the unique characteristics of Cartesian robots and see how they compare to cobots SCARA, and Delta robots in pick-and-place applications.
  • An Alternative Approach to Long-Travel Motion: Discover how motion stages with moving motors can provide greater performance than traditional recirculating belt drives with static motors in long-travel motion control systems.
  • Hybrid Automation Systems: Find out how combining electric and pneumatic actuators can provide the greatest benefits for complex motion control applications.
  • Choosing Linear Servo Motors: Check out the components that comprise not only the distinct features of the linear motor stage but also those used in the making of other linear actuators.
