When you think of motors, do you think of a spinning shaft for running things like the fan in an air conditioner or an exhaust fan?  What happens if something needs to move in a linear fashion?  

Motors are more than rotation.  This episode is about motion control, rotary and linear motion.

You'll learn about the types of rotary motors:  stepper motors and servo motors.  You'll learn how stepper and servo motors are constructed, the applications suitable for each, and the advantages, as well as the limitations of stepper and servo motors.

Keep with us as we explore the world of linear motion.  

You'll hear about linear servo motors.  The construction, applications, advantages, and the complexities of linear servo motors. 

Stick around to discover the world of linear actuators and the types of linear actuators:  belt-driven and ball screw actuators.  You'll learn that there are two types of ball screw actuators:  rod and rodless.  There are advantages and limitations to each that you will become aware of.  

By the end of this episode, you will know the benefits, applications, and trade-offs with these motors and solutions available.

Here are some resources.  

• Learn more about LinMot's linear motors.
• Discover the world of belt-driven actuators:  Nidec, Tolomatic, and Yaskawa.
• Read up on ball screw actuators:  Tolomatic and Yaskawa.
