The Trilogy linear motor range
The Trilogy linear motor range, which is available in the UK from Time &
Precision Industries, is a rugged series of heavy duty units for
applications requiring high speeds and acceleration, plus consistent
motion performance over millions of cycles. A Trilogy LM310 linear motor,
complete with linear tape encoder, has recently been installed in a
production facility manufacturing automotive light bulbs. It replaced a
pneumatic system, whose air seals were being damaged by fine broken glass
fragments, causing frequent shut downs. The switch to the linear motor
has now minimised these production losses.
