Stepper motor linear actuators provide thrust along a linear axis but cannot tolerate side loading. Supplemental guidance is needed to protect against external forces impacting the linear motion of ...

Linear induction motors (LIMs) convert electrical energy into linear thrust without intermediary mechanical transmission, rendering them ideal for applications ranging from urban rail transit and ...

Linear bearings, also called linear guide systems, have been used in the U.S. since the early 1900s, most commonly in printing and textile industries. Previously limited to steel ball bearings, now ...

An electromagnetic linear machine is an energy conversion device that can convert electrical energy into linear motion. Conventional study of electromagnetic linear machines mainly focuses on the ...
