Force-current relationship important when using linear motion for part production
Home / Whitepapers /
A basic need of the machine design is to be able to go to a position, and knowing where that position is relative to the workpiece. In looking at achieving accuracy in the movement of a workpiece or the tooling, there are three areas of the machine design: the mechanical components, the command and control of the movement (control boards and servo loop), and the translation mechanism (linear motor or rotary motor and ball screw). This article is focused on one aspect of translation, specifically the force generated by linear electric motors.
