Parker Linear Motors

Additional Details

We facilitate our clients with the superb engineering skill of Parker Hannifin who have been delivering groundbreaking automation solutions for decades. The same efficiency is to be found within the exploding market of linear motor technology. Parker Linear Motor solutions are reputed for brilliant automation and robotics. It results in customer's distinct performance enhancements and cost of ownership benefits over competing technologies. A linear motor functions in precisely the same method as a rotary motor that has been "unwrapped." The same electromagnetic effects that produce torque in a rotary motor now produce a direct force in a linear motor. For many applications, linear motors offer distinct advantages over conventional rotary drive systems. For example, there is no need to couple the motor to the load by means of intermediate mechanical components such as gears, ball screws, or belt drives.

 Benefits of the system:

• High speeds
• High accelerations
• Fast response—100 times that of a mechanical system
• Stiffness-spring rate better than a mechanical system
• Zero backlash-direct drive technology
• Maintenance free operation–mechanical simplicity due to reduced component count
• Long travels without performance loss
• Suitable for vacuum and extreme environments
