Linear motors - also referred to as linear servo motors - feature a forcer rod that travels back and forth along a straight axis. This enables the linear drive to produce torque in a straight line.
FAULHABER linear motors combine compact dimensions with high power density and outstanding dynamics. Their cogging-free design makes them ideal for applications requiring exceptional repeatability.
Whether in optics, factory automation, aerospace or metrology, the micro linear motors from FAULHABER offer maximum efficiency and a long service life with virtually zero maintenance, making them a perfect fit for a wide range of applications.
Linear motion can be achieved in two ways: with a linear motor using a forcer rod, or via a linear actuator, where the rotational movement is converted into linear motion via transmission elements such as lead screws or gears.
FAULHABER’s product portfolio includes both technologies: small linear motors for high-speed motion and long service life, and micro linear actuators for applications requiring high torque or maximum precision.
