Aerotech Custom Linear Motors

Aerotech has a long history of designing and manufacturing custom linear

and curvlinear motors for a wide variety of customers.

Because we design and manufacture our own linear motors, custom

motors are second nature to us.

Design Features

• Custom coil

• Custom length

• Custom cable exit

• Custom cooling port

• Custom track

• Custom magnets

We can customize our U-channel and flat linear motors in any way you can

imagine. We can change the coil winding design or length for greater or less

force, re-position the thermistor or cable exit, offer a custom cooling air (port)

interface, add locations for your own sensors, and shorten or lengthen the

magnet track exactly according to your needs. We’ve developed designs using

different types of magnets, skewed magnets, iron cores, and a wide array of

different form factors. If we cannot tailor one of our existing designs to meet

your needs, we can design a new motor to meet your specific application

requirements. Our custom spindle motors enable superior velocity regulation

and minimize axial and/or radial error motions (asynchronous error motions

as low as 5 nm). We can supply motors for spindles up to 60.000 RPM.

We can design a linear motor that is not linear. Curvlinear motors follow a

specific arc and are sometimes the best solution for a complex motion

control problem.
