I am looking into selecting a linear DC motor for an application which needs a travel of 1" total. Preferably, I would want a brush type motor (based on my motion controller). The resolution needs to be in the order of microns, and thus I am thinking of using a glass scale for feedback. PROBLEM: DC linear motors run into $1000+ price range. I am wondering if anyone knows of a manufacturer that is supplying these things for commercial applications, and has a more reasonable price. I have tried sources like Inland Motor etc. which command such prices ($5000!!!) since they cater to military applications. Work number (510) 620-0235 ask for PAUL GUPTA Work Title: Design Engineer, Kensington Labs, Richmond, CA Thanks a lot!
