APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Linear Motors
A linear motor generates translational electromagnetic force between a magnetic track and an energised moving or stationary coil assembly. It drives motion without converting motor rotation through a screw or belt.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
A linear motor is an electric motor that has had its stator and rotor "unrolled" so that instead of producing a torque (rotation) it produces a linear force along its length. However, linear motors are not necessarily straight. Characteristically, a linear motor's active section has ends, whereas more conventional motors are arranged as a continuous loop.
The Linear Motor industry can be broken down into several segments, Cylindrical Type, U-Shaped Slot Type, etc.
Across the world, the major players cover Parker, Beckhoff Automation, etc.
Coil and magnet configuration affect thrust, cogging and force ripple. The motor supplies thrust but does not replace the mechanical guide supporting the payload.
Feedback resolution, control tuning and cooling influence positioning and continuous duty. Cable forces and attraction loads must be included in the axis design.
What turns activity into demand
Linear motors produce direct thrust, making guidance, feedback and heat management central to axis design.
The commercial boundary
Separate motor components from complete linear stages, encoders and motion controllers.
