Ironless linear motors have had a clear advantage over ironcore linear motors in many applications for one clear reason: they’re not subject to cogging. “Cogging” is a term used to describe ...

An adaptive algorithm kills jerky motions in motors. High-performance motion-control applications commonly use three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motors, popularly known as brushless motors.

The highly dynamic AL8000 linear motors from Beckhoff now meet even greater requirements for accuracy and synchronization with the new TwinCAT Cogging Compensation software. This makes the linear ...
