The Difference between Linear Motor and “Ball Screw + Servo Motor”
The linear motor was invented by the British in 1845, but the air gap of the linear motor at that time was too large and the efficiency was very low, so it could not be applied. But its development was limited due to high cost and low efficiency. It was not until the 1970s that linear motors wer...Read more
