Inventor Ted Lin is a personage of innovation and expertise in the demanding field of dc motor technology. His 25th patent is a testament to his lasting contributions to motion control engineering. A half-century ago, Lin began his journey with a B.S. in Physics from Tsing Hua University in Taiwan and an M.S. in Physics…

The new 11018 series of Hybrid Stepper Motors uses a large NEMA 42 (110mm) frame size making it the largest hybrid stepper motor we currently offer. Thanks to the large frame size, 11018 can generate up to 32 Nm (4530 oz-in) of holding torque! As well, these motors can be wired up as either Unipolar,…

Lin Engineering high-performance X-series motors deliver higher power density than ever before. The X5718 comes in a NEMA 23 (56.4 mm) frame size. High power density means that these motors can deliver more torque at a targeted speed than competitors’ motor of the same size. This is due to a unique motor design which provides […]

With the recent COVID-19 outbreak, demand for medical equipment has quickly risen. Many such devices incorporate precision electric motors. To support efforts to combat COVID-19, Lin Engineering — a designer and manufacturer of precision electric motors and motion systems — is prioritizing the production and supply of motors to support companies making medical devices critical […]

Rapid prototyping is often thought to be about building plastic parts for use inside your system, or perhaps as an enclosure or mounting component. But there are other ways to use rapid prototyping to advance your design engineering capabilities — in this case, linear motion design. We don’t have to cover the many benefits of…
