After a bracket is connected the drawer slide and the belt, you’ve got a very inexpensive linear motor. In our days of dumpster diving, we can’t count the number of times we’ve passed up on ...

The unique PiezoWalk linear motor is non-magnetic and self clamping and provides sub-nanometer resolution. It can be integrated in actuators and linear translation stages as shown in the example above ...

The analogy is apt and helps to understand how a linear motor works, but it begs the question: what if we could unroll the stator in two dimensions instead of just one? That’s the idea behind ...
