High-force, ironless linear motors for vacuum environments

Designed for high-precision applications in vacuum and cleanroom environments, Gryphon motors deliver smooth, cogging-free motion thanks to their ironless design. With peak forces up to 414 N and speeds reaching 1.5 m/s, they enable fast and accurate positioning for semiconductor and inspection systems.

Advanced thermal management with flat-wire coil technology ensures efficient heat dissipation, while integrated PT1000 sensors provide precise temperature monitoring. Magnetic field shielding is incorporated for sensitive applications, minimizing interference and ensuring optimal performance in environments with strict electromagnetic requirements. Gryphon motors integrate seamlessly with Prodrive servo drives and motion controllers for a complete motion solution.
