Below is a list of Linear Motor manufacturers from Colton, California. Linear motors are a type of electric motor in which the converted mechanical energy provides motion to the equipment or machinery solely upon a single linear-axis. Generally categorized as either high-acceleration or low-acceleration motors, linear motors are a type of alternating current (AC) motor and are also at times referred to as linear induction motors and operates on the same principle of electromagnetic induction as typical induction motors (although they are normally rotational).
