Linear Motor Basics
with a transmission offering mechanical advantage. For example to. produce even 65 N (15 lb) of continuous force, a linear motor's cross section is. approximately 50 mm x 40 mm (2"x 1.5"). Compare this to the cross section of a 10 mm. (3/8") diameter ball screw which produces 100 lb. of thrust and one can...
Demystifying Linear Motor Integration
force per cross-sectional area. The balanced design reduces bearing load, allowing use of smaller linear motion bearings and decreasing bearing noise. Ironless motors. Ironless linear motors also exist; these motors have no iron in their coils, so there's no attraction between the motor members...

such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or a floor that slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section. * Contains any other recognized safety or health hazard. We all know that these spaces can take on many diverse forms, but the do's and don'ts remain the same...
