Linear motion is central to many moving machines, and the direct-drive nature of linear motors can simplify overall machine design in these applications. Other benefits include improved stiffness, ...

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 ...

Rotary motor motion is usually converted to linear through rack and pinion sets, belts and pulleys, and other mechanical linkages. These are effective but limited systems. In contrast, integrated ...

Today, your average desktop 3D printer is a mess of belts, leadscrews, and pulleys. For his Hackaday Prize entry, [DeepSOIC] is eliminating them entirely. How’s he doing this? With a linear stepper ...

The L2018 mini linear actuator is available with linear slide and features an extremely compact size, fast regulation times, and high thrust. The unit is based on a high-torque stepper motor and has a ...

Described as a low-cost, high-performance component, the company's two-phase, linear stepper motor specifies a 1-mm (0.00004") resolution and promises easy integration into unique and existing ...

The HoneyComb Series linear stepper x-y positioning base features a novel honeycomb-structured composite material to reduce the cost of applying advanced linear motor technology. The base’s moving ...

Recently launched in the UK, Motors and Drives specialists MOONS' Industries are delighted to offer their extensive range of motion control products, which includes three types of linear motion ...

Tailored for use with the company's tin-can rotary and linear stepper motors, the NP3775 debuts as a bipolar chopper driver and the NP7380 as a state logic (phase distribution) chip. The NP3775 dual ...
