The M-663 Piline™ piezo motor stage is the smallest closed-loop ultrasonic linear piezomotor-driven translation stage with linear encoder (100 nanometer resolution). It combines the advantages of piezo-motor drives with PI precision micro mechanics.

PI offers miniature open-loop ultrasonic linear motor driven stages as small as ~9x6x2 mm (model P-652). (read more)

The 3 phase brushless (or AC servo) linear motor is ideal for long stroke, closed loop servo, linear motion applications. They can be used at speeds up to 240 in / sec [6 m / sec]. They are capable of very precise position, velocity and acceleration control when coupled with a linear encoder. (read more)

A Linear Induction Motor (LIM) is a non-contacting, high speed, linear motor that operates on the same principal as a rotary, squirrel cage, induction motor. They are capable of speeds up to 1800 in/sec [45 m/s] and are typically used in applications where accurate positioning is not required. LIM's can also be operated at stall to produce static thrust.
