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.
3 Reasons to Customize a Stepper Motor
Step motors, especially tin can steppers, are typically considered commodity items – purchased by the millions and mass-produced around the world. In today’s competitive marketplace, a major factor for machine builders is still keeping costs low, but also ensuring a ...

What’s the difference between captive and non-captive linear steppers?
Linear stepper motors are a great solution when it comes to converting rotary motion to linear, particularly when the application does not require the accuracy of a linear servo motor or closed-loop stepper motor/encoder operation. There are three mechanical configurations ...

The four torque characteristics associated with stepping motors
When choosing a stepper motor, it is important to understand four torque characteristics: Pull-out torque is the maximum torque that can be delivered without losing steps. It reaches its maximum at the lowest frequency or speed, and decreases as frequency increases. ...
