AEROTECH Custom Linear Motors

Custom Linear Motors

Aerotech has a long history of designing and manufacturing custom linear and curvlinear motors for a wide variety of customers. Because we design and manufacture our own linear motors, custom motors are second nature to us.

Design Features

Custom coil

Custom length

Custom cable exit

Custom cooling port

Custom track

Custom magnets

We can customize our U-channel and flat linear motors in any way you can imagine. We can change the coil winding design or length for greater or less force, re-position the thermistor or cable exit, offer a custom cooling air (port) interface, add locations for your own sensors, and shorten or lengthen the magnet track exactly according to your needs.

We’ve developed designs using different types of magnets, skewed magnets, iron cores, and a wide array of different form factors. If we cannot tailor one of our existing designs to meet your needs, we can design a new motor to meet your specific application requirements.

Our custom spindle motors enable superior velocity regulation and minimize axial and/or radial error motions (asynchronous error motions as low as 5 nm). We can supply motors for spindles up to 60.000 RPM.

We can design a linear motor that is not linear. Curvlinear motors follow a specific arc and are sometimes the best solution for a complex motion control problem.
