Shaft Motor Touts High Precision

With a resolution of 0.14 nm, the Shaft Motor is suited for applications such as precision positioning. A direct-drive, linear servomotor, it is driven with magnetic circuits consisting only of permanent magnets and coils. Reduced friction makes the motor quiet since the only mechanical contact section is the linear guide. In addition, the coreless construction of the motor totally eliminates cogging. Durable construction also makes it possible to operate the motor in harsh conditions, including a vacuum situation and underwater. This product is said to have virtually no fluctuation in speed, and due to its compact and lightweight design, the motor has no backlash. NIPPON PULSE AMERICA INC., Radford, VA. (540) 633-1677.
