  • in Linear Motors

    Aerotech's brushless, linear servo motors are meant for use with robots, actuators, tables, stages, fiberoptics/photonics alignment and positioning, and many other industrial automation applications. All linear motors are direct drive and consist of a noncontacting forcer coil and U-channel rare-earth magnet track to eliminate backlash, windup, wear, and maintenance issues found with other positioning systems.
