Linear Motion Solution Summary

Ever wondered how (state of the art) laboratory robots, move from one sample tube to another? No? Then today is your lucky day.

Linear Motion, a technology used by e.g. the Maglev Transrapid in Shanghai, is in use since electronic engines exist. A linear motor is an electric motor with “unrolled” stator and rotor, so that instead of producing a torque (rotation) it produces a linear force. However, linear motors are not necessarily straight. Characteristically, a linear motor’s active section has ends, whereas more conventional motors are arranged as a continuous loop. You can easily accomplish high or low acceleration, as well as a permanent tracking of your position. And this is ecactly why laboratory robot manufacturers use this technologie.
