What are Sawyer motors and where are they used?

August 6, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

dual axis linear stepper motor

Originally named for Bruce Sawyer, who patented the design in 1968, Sawyer motors are a type of planar motor, and are sometimes referred to as “dual-axis linear stepper motors” since they use stepper motor technology and the moving part can travel in both the X and Y directions. Like other planar motor designs, Sawyer motors […]
