Linear Motors

Voice Coil Linear Actuators (Non Commutated DC Linear Actuators)

H2W Technologies Non commutated DC Linear (NC) Actuators are ideal for short stroke (typically less than 2 inches) closed loop servo applications. Their compact size allows them to fit into small spaces. They have very low electrical and mechanical time constants. The low moving mass allows for high accelerations of light payloads.

DC Linear Brushless Motors

The 3 phase brushless (or AC servo) linear motor is ideal for long stroke, closed loop servo, linear motion applications. They can be used at speeds up to 240 in / sec [6 m / sec]. They are capable of very precise position, velocity and acceleration control when coupled with a linear encoder.

DC Linear Brush Motors

The DC brush linear motor is ideal for long stroke, open or closed loop servo, linear motion applications. They can be used at speeds up to 100 in / sec [2.5 m / sec] and as low as 1 in/sec [25 mm / sec]. They are capable of very precise position, velocity and acceleration control when coupled with a linear encoder.

Single Axis Linear Stepper Motors

H2W Technologies linear stepper motors are ideal for open loop positioning applications with light payloads. They can be used at speeds up to 80 in /sec [2 m/sec] and strokes up to 144” [3.6 m]. Linear stepper motors are capable of very precise position, velocity and acceleration control when coupled with a microstepping drive and indexer.

Dual Axis Linear Stepper Motors

H2W Technologies Dual Axis Linear Stepper Motors are ideal for open loop positioning applications with light payloads. They can be used at speeds up to 80 in /sec [2 m/sec] and strokes up to 40” x 60” [1 m x 1.5 m]. Linear stepper motors are capable of very precise position, velocity and acceleration control when coupled with a microstepping drive and indexer.

AC Linear Induction Motors

A Linear Induction Motor (LIM) is a non-contacting, high speed, linear motor that operates on the same principal as a rotary, squirrel cage, induction motor. They are capable of speeds up to 1800 in/sec [45 m/s] and are typically used in applications where accurate positioning is not required. LIM’s can also be operated at stall to produce static thrust.
