This article shows a common approach to the simulation of electromechanical problems. A parametric set of 3D magnetostatic simulations are carried out using CST EM Studio (CST EMS) on a linear ...

How linear, rotary, reciprocating and oscillating motion are evolving as customization grows and new capabilities emerge.

Linear motion guideways constitute the backbone of many precision engineering applications, enabling constraint and guidance of moving components with high accuracy. Recent advancements have focused ...

A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom of movement that ...

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 ...

The Series ESZ Linear Actuators feature a robust, enclosed design with a high-capacity rail-bearing system delivering exceptional moment and load capability. Available in two sizes, with travel ...

The new Allen-Bradley LDAT-SeriesTM Integrated Linear Thruster from Rockwell Automation is the first commercially available moving magnet iron core linear motor actuator with a built-in linear guide ...
