There are different types of tools and instruments that are used in day-to-day tasks. Whether you are doing a huge powerful task or you are into a small endeavour; you can find some tools and equipment playing a crucial role.
Now if you talk about linear motors, they are also referred to as direct drive units because the load is directly attached to the motor. It is something that eliminates the requirement for elastic components like gearboxes and couplings that introduce error in the motion and backlash. Since they do not depend on mechanical drive components like belts, ball screws and rack and pinions, these motors have a much higher correctness and repeatability, with no speed undulation.
Such a lack of rotating or recirculating parts also make these virtually maintenance-free and help to a lower total cost of ownership if you compare them to conventional drive mechanisms. As there is no mechanical matter, the driving force is produced in the air gap, with the exclusion of the motor guide in the absence of any other friction.
It might also be of great interest for you that the structure of these tools is simple, tiny size, by making use of the minimum number of mechanisms to achieve the linear drive, and this is just a moving part. Similarly the operation of this tool can cater a wide range of speed operation, some of them are like microns to various meters per second, and mainly at high speed is one of its brilliant advantages. Talking about the movement, it is completely stable as there is no other mechanical connection or any conversion device besides supporting linear guide or even flotation bearing.
If you are a person who always craves for accuracy then it might be an apt choice for you. Accuracy and repeatability are quite high because of the removal of the intermediate links that do affect accuracy. The correctness of the system totally depends on the position sensing element, with an appropriate feedback device up to the submicron. Now if you are thinking that since the tool has so many features and eases; it would be quite difficult to maintain then you are wrong. It is quite easy to maintain. As there are the tiny parts, no type of mechanical contact with the movement, hence greatly diminishing the wear and tear of parts, with smidgen or no maintenance? They even have longer service life.
Well, these are electric induction motors that generate motion in a straight line rather than any type of rotational motion. In a conventional electric motor, the rotor used to spin inside the stator; in this linear one, the stator is unwrapped and it is laid out flat and the "rotor" moves past it in the direct and straight line. These motors often make use of superconducting magnets that are cooled to low temperatures to diminish power consumption.
Thus, once you try out these motors, you are going to experience a lot of ease, handiness, professionalism, and quality.
