Linear motors are a special class of synchronous brushless servo motor. They work like rotary motors, but are opened up and rolled out flat. Through the electromagnetic interaction between a coil assembly (primary part) and a permanent magnet assembly (secondary part), the electrical energy is converted to linear mechanical energy with a high level of efficiency. Other common names for the primary component are motor, moving part, slider or glider, while the secondary part is also called magnetic way or magnet track.
 
The ironless motors (IL) have no attractive force between the frameless components and have absolutely zero cogging for ultra smooth motion. Ironcore motors (LM) have higher efficiency (force vs overheating). Our ironcore motors have the highest rated force per frame size and feature ETEL's patented anti-cogging design which eliminates the need for magnet skewing. |
