Linear Motors
Dexter can design, manufacture and deliver custom magnet solutions.
Deciding on the right linear motor based on your application can be a very challenging task. Dexter has extensive experience in the magnetics field and can assist your team with the development of a linear motor to ensure maximum performance. As a linear motor magnetics manufacturer, we will help select the right technology and assist in important selection criteria involving force calculations, environmental considerations, and magnetic flux interaction in the overall application.
Linear Motor Magnetics
What are the three configurations of a linear motor?
Precision linear motors are available in three different configurations: U-channel, flat-type, and cylindrical (tubular). Each type has different characteristics and capabilities in force magnitude, speed, acceleration/deceleration, motion smoothness, leakage field, and cost. The team at Dexter Magnetic Technologies will assess your needs and goals to develop a custom linear motor that meets your unique situation.
Why is linear motor magnetics useful?
Linear motor magnetics is a zero-touch, zero-electricity solution for vehicle propulsion, sliding doors, conveyor belts, machine tools, and other fields that require a high degree of precision. Because linear motors utilize magnets to avoid physical contact, linear motor magnetics is a low-maintenance alternative to rotating motors.
How do you control linear motion?
The expert engineers at Dexter Magnetic Technologies design and test permanent magnet and electromagnet components, assemblies, and systems to control linear motion by selecting the best technical resources to support engineering designs that require a high level of precision. By optimizing your design for cost, performance, and quality, we are able to provide efficient and cost-effective linear motors to control linear motion.
