The Advantages of Using a Linear Motor
A motorized linear stage is essential for a wide range of applications, and provides programmable control of position in one or more axes.
There are multiple technologies to choose from when selecting a motorized linear stage. The simplest is based on a stepping linear motor, with its rotary motion converted to linear motion via a pulley and belt, or a lead screw.
Fully integrated stepping linear motor/lead screw assemblies have recently become widely available. They avoid the need for a rotary coupling and a lead screw bearing, and provide a compact, cost effective solution for many motorized linear stage requirements.
A higher performance and higher cost solution replaces the stepping linear motor with a brushless rotary servo motor. While these can achieve higher speed and precision, they require a rotary encoder and are not yet available as integrated motor/lead screw assemblies.

Getting the Best Performance from Your Motorized Linear Stage
The highest performance approach to designing a motorized linear stage is to make the switch from rotary stepper driven motors to direct drive linear motors. In this approach, the motor delivers force directly to the payload and a servo loop is closed based on feedback from a linear encoder.
Motorized Linear Stage Low Cost
Direct drive solutions for motorized linear stage requirements have traditionally been an expensive option. Direct drive technology has evolved and is now available at a more modest price point due to recent advances in magnetic material performance and cost, as well as cost reductions in linear encoders.
The value increases when the full life cycle costs of the motorized linear stage are considered. Motorized linear stages utilizing direct drive also provide a dramatic increase in system throughput through a reduction in move and settle time.
