Nippon Pulse has taken much of the work of integrating a linear motor into a system with its SCR and SLP linear stages. Both are built around Nippon Pulse’s Linear Shaft Motor, the first motor designed for the ultra-high precision market. Both the SCR and SLP series stages come with integrated bearings and encoders to reduce cost and simplify integration into your application.
The SCR nanopositioning stage offers the speed of servo stages while also offering the accuracy and precision of piezo stages. Built with cross-roller bearings, the SCR nanopositioning stage gives you extremely straight and flat motion (2.5μm).

Linear motors have earned a reputation as highly precise and efficient alternatives to conventional rotary-to-linear transmission systems. Find out why, plus learn about the ultra-precise and energy-efficient linear shaft motor.
To fully appreciate the chief advantages of linear motors, it is helpful to compare them to ballscrews, another high-precision rotary-to-linear transmission system. Although typical ballscrews are roughly 90% efficient, servomotor efficiency (typically 75% to 80%) — plus losses introduced by the coupling and gearbox — reduces the power supply going toward actual work to 55% in some cases. In comparison, typical linear motors drive loads directly, which boosts overall efficiency.When the flat iron core motor (bottom) was introduced, it was more efficient than alternate forms of linear motion systems...Categories: Technical Support - Posted: December 09, 2011
Nippon Pulse’s Linear Shaft Motor is the first linear servomotor designed and constructed with the ultra high-precision market in mind, but also provides energy efficiency that is up to 50 percent better than competing coreless linear motors, a claim independently verified (see below).
The simple design of the Linear Shaft Motor (it consists of only a forcer {coils} and shaft {magnet}), is one of the primary factors in its energy efficiency.
Because the coils are completely wrapped around the magnets, 100 percent of created magnet flux cuts the coils at 90 degrees, which, as highlighted by Fleming’s left hand rule, is the optimal crossing vector in linear motion.
The Linear Shaft Motor also reduces the amount of generated heat, and heat’s impact on the work point, which further increases energy efficiency...

The Linear Shaft Motor introduces an innovative approach to parallel drive systems by enabling the utilization of two motors in parallel with a single encoder and amplifier. This paper explores how the Linear Shaft Motor overcomes challenges associated with traditional parallel drive setups, making it a powerful solution for various high-precision applications.
Advantages of Linear Shaft Motors:
Simplified Parallel Drive Setup: Unlike conventional systems requiring multiple drives, controllers, and encoders, the Linear Shaft Motor offers the ability to drive two motors in parallel using just one encoder and amplifier. This streamlines the setup, reducing hardware complexity and cost.
Overcoming Orthogonal Alignment Issues: Orthogonal alignment, a key concern in parallel systems, is addressed by the Linear Shaft Motor. Unlike mechanical-driven systems prone to binding due to misalignment, the non-contact nature of Linear Shaft Motors eliminates mechanical binding...
