What is commutation?

In order to generate motion in a three-phase linear motor there must be switching between the phases to energize appropriate windings. The process of switching between the phases is called commutation. Read more

The QLT torque family keeps growing!

in 2019 a new design of torque motors was released at the sps smart production solutions fair. called the qtl-a series, it is a motor that accommodates applications where high continuous torque in combination with a compact design is paramount. now tecnotion expanded upon the same design with…

Advantages of coupling of linear motors

Coupling two linear motors is an easy and effective way of increasing the available force. Herewith you are not just limited to using identical motors. Various combinations can be made, as long as the motor force constant is the same. This note discusses some details of a…

Packaging

Machine throughput and production rate is a key factor for efficient manufacturing. It is well known that building machines that move back and forth result in lower efficiency than unidirectional movements. Read more

Vacuum motors

Apart from the features carried over from our regular ironless motors: light weight and ultra precision, this series is also capable of incredibly smooth motion and achieves the lowest amount of outgassing possible for a series product of this type. Read more

Grensverleggend met direct drive motoren voor de hightech industrie

Wat hebben (3d) printers, robots, drones, lasersnijders en productiemachines van tv-schermen gemeen? In het hart tref je vaak een motor aan van Tecnotion! Direct aangedreven motoren zoals torque- en lineaire motoren – al dan niet in vacuüm omgeving- spelen een steeds prominentere rol in allerlei hightech-ontwikkelingen.

Moving Magnet Systems

In the case of clean room and vacuum applications, any particle-generating components must be positioned outside of the controlled environment to avoid degrading the environment. For applications that involve the presence of hazardous chemicals, safety requirements demand that electrical components be located outside of the work area….

Large format printers

One of the most critical quality measures of large format printers is the spacing of pixels, since the human eye can detect pixels that are not evenly spaced. This means that the motion of the printer should be extremely smooth and the velocity of the print head…

Waterjet – Laser Cutters

Hardened steel racks are often required in order to withstand the forces resulting from this high acceleration rate. This can add significant cost to the machine. To avoid this extra cost, machine builders are replacing rack and pinion systems with linear motors. While the cutting speed is determined by the cutting source, the time it takes to reach…
