Linear Servo - Linear Shaft Motor
The Nippon Pulse Linear Shaft Motor is a brushless, high-precision direct drive linear servo motor in a tubular design. Consisting of a magnetic shaft and coil assembly (forcer), the linear shaft motor is driven and controlled by the flow of current.
The Linear Shaft Motor can replace ball-screws, pneumatics, u-shaped motors, and other linear motion systems. It is ideal for biomedical, packaging, printing, automation, and many other applications.
Design Concepts of the Linear Shaft Motor
- Simple: Two parts and a non-critical air gap
- Non-Contact: No wearing and maintenance free
- High Precision: Ironless design and all the magnetic flux is used
