MagSpring - Magnetic Springs
Linear motors and other direct drives must provide a constant force in vertical orientations, in order to oppose the weight load.
Using a MagSpring installed in parallel with the linear motor, this weight load can be passively balanced. The linear motor is then only used for the actual positioning operation and dynamic forces, and can therefore be correspondingly smaller in design.
MagSprings are totally passive.
