Demystifying Linear Motor Integration

From Yaskawa America, Inc. - Motion Division

Machine and robot builders recognize linear motor benefits, but some are reluctant to integarte the components into designs - because of incomplete understanding of the technology. Here we overcome that with a review of basic linear motor integration.

Gearmotors
Gearmotors consist of an AC or DC motor with an integral gearbox or gear head typically used to adjust the motor's output speed and torque.
AC Motors
AC motors include single, multiphase, universal, induction, synchronous, and gear motors. They also include servomotors.  
DC Servomotors
DC servomotors are generally small and powerful for their size, and easy to control. Common types of DC servomotors include brushless or gear motors.
DC Motors
DC motors are most commonly used in variable speed and torque applications. They include brushless and gear motors, as well as servomotors.
Linear Motors
Linear motors generate force only in the direction of travel. They are capable of extremely high speeds, quick acceleration, and accurate positioning.
