Linear Servo Motors and Actuators:
the secret weapon OEM engineers don’t know they have

Linear Servo Motors are a permanent-magnet-based technology to generate linear motion in one axis. They are relatively simple to build, design and integrate, and their extremely high reliability and increasing power density make them excel in an array of automated machines. In this article we answer four frequently asked questions about Linear Servo Motors.

Servo Motor Terminology FAQ: What’s the difference between an industrial servo motor and a hobbyist-quality servo motor?

Nippon Pulse engineers are regularly approached by hobbyists and educators looking for servo motors. But there is a big difference between what these novice engineers are usually seeking — two-lead dc motors — and precision industrial servo motors run off ...

Linear Servo Motors and electronics to solve your machining problems

Design engineers run up against all kinds of issues when designing a new application – ensuring the motors meet force and size requirements, making sure the electronics to run the application are well-designed, and keeping costs down, just to name ...

Configuring your Linear Servo Motor system

The design of the Linear Servo Motor allows you to replace the standard ball-screw system with the Linear Servo Motor and achieve higher speed and resolution. However, to achieve the highest performance, the entire system structure must be optimized. This ...

Linear Servo Motor vs. Other Linear and Rotary-to-Linear Technologies

A short overview of the benefits of using a Linear Servo Motor servo in place of other popular linear motor options, as well as benefits over conventional rotary-to-linear systems. View Whitepaper

Linear Servo Motor 50 Percent More Efficient than Coreless Linear Servos

Linear motors have gained a name for themselves as being a high-precision and power-efficient alternative to conventional rotary-to-linear transmission systems. How is this possible? Well, let’s look at the Ball Screw, which also can be considered, in its own right, ...

Linear Servo Motors in Parallel

With the Linear Servo Motor, you have the ability to drive two motors in parallel using only one encoder and one amplifier. All other systems require two drives, two controllers and two encoders, connected together. How is the Linear Servo ...
