The 3D-printed motor matched or outperformed comparable motors made with conventional manufacturing — and only cost 50 cents ...

The team, based at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, demonstrated the system by printing an electric linear motor – the type that generates straight-line motion instead of ...

Researchers at Philips Applied Technologies have developed an innovative technique that allows standard linear motors to simultaneously provide movement along two axes rather than along a single axis.

PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control, nanopositioning and piezo technology solutions, announces the release of the V-141 linear motor stage family, the most compact and ...

Novel bi-phase piezo motor enables accurate linear motion in an extremely compact package, new from PI. PI’s B-421 miniaturized piezo stages provide 10 nm positioning resolution in an extremely ...

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 ...

Linear actuation is employed everywhere, for packaging, life sciences, transportation, and factory automation jobs. Pneumatic and hydraulic linear actuators operate on pressure differentials; ...

A line of Nippon Pulse’s linear shaft motors that features analog Hall effect sensors to enable closed-loop positioning without a linear encoder. Linear motors can be described as uncurled 3-phase ...
