 110V, 1 pole motor
 Single bearing rail
 ~12’’ travel
 magnetic encoder
 Peak Velocity = 7 m/s
 Resolution = 5μm
EEE 1317
 High Maximum Speed
› Limited primarily by bus voltage, control
electronics
 High Precision
› Accuracy, resolution, repeatability limited by feedback device,
budget
› Zero backlash: No mechanical transmission components.
 Fast Response
› Response rate can be over 100 times that of a mechanical
transmission  faster accelerations, settling time (more throughput)
 Stiffness
› No mechanical linkage, stiffness depends mostly on gain & current
 Durable
› Modern linear motors have few/no contacting parts  no wear
EEE 1317
 Cost
› High price of magnets
› Low production volume (relative to demand)
Linear encoders (feedback) are much more expensive than rotary
encoders, cost increases with length
 Higher Bandwidth Drives and Controls
 Lower force per package size
 Heating issues
› Forcer is usually attached to load  I2R losses are directly
coupled to load
 No (minimal) Friction
› No automatic brake

Editor's Notes

  • #19 Typical max speeds: 3-5 m/s with 1 micron resolution, 5+ m/s (>200 ips) with less resolution Budget is main restraint on controller bandwidth Higher stiffness (spring rate), though limited by motor peak force, available current, and feedbakc resolution
  • #20 Linear encoders are usually around $500 for 100 mm travel encoder, cost increases with length. Rotary encoders are relatively inexpensive – tend to be under 100 dollars No mechanical reduction between motor and load, thus servo response (bandwidth) must be faster. Includes higher encoder bandwidth and servo update rates Linear motors are not compact force generators when compared to rotary motor with transmission offering mechanical advantage. Example 3/8” diam. Ball screw produces 100 lb of thrust, while 15 lb of linear thrust typically requires 2” x 1.5” cross section. Heat management techniques such as air and water cooling options (both common, popular) have to be applied Suppose it’s traveling at 3 m/s and loses power. Without resistance, it will quickly reach end of end of system, mechanical stops. Linear encoders are usually around $500 for 100 mm travel encoder, cost increases with length.
