The Linear Shaft Motor is a simple, high-efficiency, high-precision motor that requires no maintenance over its lifetime. The servo motor consists of only two parts: a magnetic shaft, and a “forcer” of wound coils. The Linear Shaft Motor offers ultra-high precision because it has no iron in the forcer or shaft, giving you the precision and zero cogging expected in a coreless design while providing the stiffness expected in an iron-core motor.

Because the forcer coil completely wraps around the shaft’s internal magnets, all the motor’s magnetic flux is efficiently used. This allows for a 0.5mm to 2.5mm nominal annular air gap between the shaft and forcer. This air gap is non-critical, meaning there is no variation in force as the gap changes over the stroke length of the device.

Nippon Pulse’s Linear Shaft Motor can be used in a variety of applications, including pick-and-place machines and dispensing machines. Applications that require smooth, precise movements and high accuracy will benefit from the Linear Shaft Motor. If your application has varying force requirements or low-power/high-efficiency requirements, contact an applications engineer to learn how your application can benefit from the Linear Shaft Motor servomotor.
