Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Linear Motor / Servo Motor

Definition
A core motion control component in XY motion systems that converts electrical energy into precise linear mechanical movement. Linear motors provide direct drive linear motion without mechanical transmission components, while servo motors typically drive linear motion through ball screws or other mechanisms with closed-loop feedback for high accuracy positioning.
Working Principle
Linear motors operate on electromagnetic principles where electrical current through windings interacts with permanent magnets to generate linear force. Servo motors use rotary-to-linear conversion with position/speed feedback control. Both utilize control systems (typically PID controllers) to achieve precise positioning, velocity, and acceleration profiles based on command signals from motion controllers.
