A motor called a linear motor is making quite an impact in packaging industries and CNC machines. When someone says "motor," the image that comes to mind is usually something spinning, right? However, packaging and CNC machines require motors with linear movement. In this video, we are going to learn about the working of these beautiful motors by understanding a crucial concept about linearly travelling magnetic fields.

Technics CD players used a linear motor to drive the laser assembly which allowed extremely quick tracking. You could jump from track 1 to track 10 in about 1/10 of a second. Phillips used a similar motor that was curved instead of straight rotating around a pivot point. This video only talked about how a linear motor moves, and not how it is controlled to be held in a still position when the motion is stopped. (hint: it's not allowed to just rest.)

In order to change the direction of the movement, you need to switch only 2 phases. The phase change at 4:54 only adds 120 degree phase. It does not change the direction. Apart from that, great video for beginners. Congrats!!

These are great for pick and place applications where considerable torque is not required. I am a PLC technician, and I use these often. Easy to setup, and programming is a breeze using Ethernet IP. For higher torque applications, I use servos or steppers. The beauty of linear motors is the minimal amount of moving parts. Servos and steppers require actuators and drive systems (lead screws, belts, chains, etc.), therefore there is more maintenance, and potential failures. It's a balancing act of choice, depending on the application. Really love linear motors though!
@odometric5946
@odometric5946 2 роки тому
Very informative! Most machines that require linear motion use a "linear actuator" to achieve this motion, which has a rotary motor and a screw or belt mechanism to translate rotary motion to linear motion. I think the majority of linear motion uses the "linear actuator" and not the linear motor due to a cheaper upfront cost and ease of control for most applications. Would be cool to get my hands on one of these linear motors to try out.

Grat video with great explanations! But I think you should've also said that this is a linear induction motor (LIM) because it works with induction and that there's also another method of building a linear motor: the linear synchronous motor (LSM). This type of motor uses a different method, it has permanent magnets on the secondary (the moving part of the motor) and those magnets are attracted and repelled by the magnetic fields of the primary (the non-moving part of the motor). This LSM concept has some important advantages to the LIM: it's way more efficient (uses way less power and produces less heat), it can go to a specific position way more accurately, in case of an E-Stop the coils can be shorted and the LSM acts as a brake (LIMs can't do this), and lastly, it can achieve way bigger accelerations, speeds and forces than the LIM.
@NoosaHeads
@NoosaHeads 2 роки тому
Can this LSM's secondary be a series of electromagnets (to permit high current and therefore high torque) and could the LSM also be a generator if an external reciprocating force were applied to the same equipment?
@HiAnonym
@HiAnonym 2 роки тому
@@NoosaHeads I guess first would be technically possible, but is currently as far as I know not used (LSMs are mainly used for rollercoasters and there secondary can't really have any power electronics in it). However, your second idea is already in used on some rollercoasters as a brake which also gets the kinetic energy of the train back to electric energy and so it saves some electricity

Hmm. CNC motors must be pretty interesting with a lot of strength and acceleration/deceleration of heavy parts with 0,001mm precision despite long travel distances and the environment without controlled temperature, so I expected threaded rods with a stepper motor and some sensors reading accurate position. Actually, it's quite an interesting topic to cover. And by the way piezoelectric linear motors are interesting too.
