Linear Motors

A linear motor offers a lot of possibilities for the designer. The advantages of linear motors are high speed, high power, high accuracy and large trajectories. Linear motors are largely used for technical reasons. Linear motors provide a simpler structure and better performance for equipment than traditional linear motion arrangements, such as motor-screw arrangements or a motor and gearbox.

A bit of theory: A linear motor is not rotating, but the moving part in it moves in a straight line. These provide linear motion without mechanical transmission. In a linear motor, the stator and rotor windings are applied to the plane. Instead of a rotating magnetic field, a wandering magnetic field is created. Linear motors are used e.g. in machine tools.

Wexon offers a wide range of linear motors. Wexon's range also includes amplifiers for linear motors.

The Dunkermotoren linear motors represented by Wexon are available in different versions and the linear motors are tubular in design. In addition, Dunkermotoren's linear motors also have advantages.

• high acceleration
• fast settling time
• quiet sound
• maintenance-free
• wide dynamic range
• durable construction

In addition, Wexon also offers a wide range of linear motors based on a stepper motor. Heydon Kerk, a well-known American, is the manufacturer of these stepper motor linear stepper motors represented by Wexon.
