Why adopt linear motors?
REDUCED COST OF OWNERSHIP Direct coupling of the payload to the motors moving part eliminates the need for mechanical transmission elements such as leadscrews, timing belts, rack and pinion and worm gear drives. Unlike brushed motors, there is no contact by the moving parts in a direct drive system. Therefore there is no mechanical wear resulting in excellent reliability and long lifetimes. Fewer mechanical parts minimize maintenance and reduce the system cost. The direct drive technology intrinsic to a linear motor based system results in an efficient and effective gearless assembly. EASY INTEGRATION ETEL linear motors are available in a wide range of sizes and can be easily adapted to most applications. ETEL’s unmatched standard product offering includes ironless and ironcore linear motors. DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE Linear motor applications have a wide range of dynamic performance requirements. Depending on the specifics of a system’s duty cycle, the peak force and maximum speed will driv
