To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, constant-traverse speed for machine heads and slides, as well as tool and part-handling systems. A variety of ...

Knowing the details of a linear-motion application increases the odds of choosing the right ball screw. The more thrust an application requires, the larger the diameter screw will be needed. That’s ...
