[Raul] built a cheap linear actuator out of a drawer slide and a surplus flatbed scanner. A few builds we’ve seen, like the PCB drill press or the horribly inefficient thermostat, used linear ...

The L2018 mini linear actuator is available with linear slide and features an extremely compact size, fast regulation times, and high thrust. The unit is based on a high-torque stepper motor and has a ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

These U.S.-manufactured passive air bearing slides can be paired with manual adjustment mechanisms or integrated into larger automated positioning systems using linear motors or other actuation ...

A new linear motor slide has been designed to provide direct feedback of the table position, with positional repeatability of ±5 µm. The Phaser series also boasts a 1 µm high-resolution scale that ...

Linear motors are proliferating. They give machines the absolute highest precision and dynamic performance. Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, ...
