Awareness about Critical Rotation Speeds Helps Overcome Limitations in Motor Shafts
Manufacturers in the linear motor market are increasing efforts to gain competitive edge over the other by designing cost-effective machines or by increasing the availability of machines that generate higher output. However, limitations in motor shafts, stemming from windup twist under heavy load and acceleration pose as a restraint for manufacturers. This explains why the linear motor market is expected to expand at a modest CAGR of ~5.5%Â throughout the forecast period. Hence, manufacturers need to be more aware about critical rotation speeds and length limitations.
On the other hand, mechanical drive restrictions are being overcome by using linear motors. As such, linear motors are being highly publicized in machine tool applications. This is evident since machine tool applications involving metal forming and metal cutting are estimated to dominate the third-highest revenue in the market landscape. The electromagnetic force in linear motors eliminates the need for mechanical connection, thus eliminating any mechanical hysteresis or pitch-cycle error.

Companies Generate Incremental Opportunities with High Adoption of Direct Drive Motors
Linear motors play a pivotal role for engineers while developing new platforms for machine tools. Thus, direct drive motors involving torque and linear motors are increasingly being adopted in industry practice. As such, linear motors are being perceived as high-end alternatives to gearboxes and ball screws. New trends such as increasing force density in direct drive motors are some of the key drivers contributing to the growth of the linear motor market. This explains why the market is estimated for an output of ~1,800 units by the end of 2027.
Companies in the linear motor market are increasing their production capabilities to increase the availability of motors that accommodate in various size options in direct drive motors. Since direct drive tools are a key component in machine tools, manufacturers are focusing on performance and product quality to support the tool-turning power profile within a certain volume.
Liquid cooling has become an industry standard in machine tools. Hence, there is a growing demand for simplified integration of linear motors into direct drive motors to ease concerns regarding coolant leaks and the challenge of designing the best cooling channels. Lightweight and cost-effective designs of motors are helping manufacturers to bolster their credibility credentials in the competitive landscape.
The linear motor market in Asia Pacific is expected to generate the highest revenue and is projected for exponential growth. However, gear reducers add unnecessary inertia to motors, thus resulting in backlash and noise due to increase in wear. Hence, manufacturers should be aware about critical rotation speeds and pitch-cycle errors to overcome limitations of backlash and noise in linear motors.
Linear Motor Market: Overview
- According to Transparency Market Researchâs latest research report on the global linear motor market for the historical period of 2017â2018 and the forecast period of 2019â2027, increase in investments in the building & infrastructure sector to construct attractive and complex-shaped buildings at an affordable cost in less time is expected to boost the global market during the forecast period

Innovations in Direct Drives: A Key Driving Factor
- Manufacturers of linear motors are focusing on innovations and hence, they are carrying out the following types of activities:
- Servo Components and Systems Ltd has designed a new direct drive called Green Drive Actuator, a combination of speed and rugged operations, which can control the ball screw and thereby, provide increased reliability to direct drive linear motors. The actuator operates at a speed of up to 5 m/s, with a positional reliability of 50 microns, which makes it suitable for several industrial applications.
- Copley Controls Corp provides a range of AC- and DC-powered digital drives for use in servo and stepper motors called New Plus Servo Drives. Safe torque-off capability of these drives eliminates the complex wiring used in traditional safety applications. New Plus Servo Drives use metal enclosures that ensure the maximum level of noise immunity.

High Costs and Complex Designs of Superconducting Magnets: A Major Challenge for Global Market
- One of the major issues associated with linear motors is their high cost and the complex design of electromagnets used in them
- Generally, more powerful electromagnets are required to lift and move one magnet over another, which consumes a large amount of electric power. Linear motors use superconducting magnets to overcome this issue.
- As for dynamic applications, linear motors are energy efficient and they can attain high speed. For this purpose, superconducting magnets are used to attain low temperatures, which reduces the power consumption, thereby preventing thermal wear and tear of motors. Use of electromagnets with such complex designs is restraining the global linear motor market.
