The Linear Motion Picker features a high-precision linear motor for full control of speed, position, and torque. Powered by in-house motor, encoder, and circuit design, it delivers world best performance.
We use advanced tools like Maxwell and JMAG for precise magnetic design, structural and thermal analysis.
This all-in-one approach enables us to design and build high-performance, reliable picker motors in-house.

Using our patented electromagnetic design, PSMP effectively blocks magnetic flux leakage outside the linear motor.
This eliminates attraction or repulsion between pickers and maintains optimal thrust without changing motor specs.
PSMP linear pickers combine high precision with ultra-fast operation, maximizing efficiency by reducing cycle times and increasing uptime.
High-speed picker operation depends heavily on motor specs, mass, and load ratio.
Coreless motors, built without iron cores, are lighter and have lower inertia, enabling high-speed motion. They operate without cogging or vibration and, compared to core motors, generate less energy loss and heat—ensuring stable performance even at high speeds.
Leveraging years of mechanical design expertise, our pickers feature ultra-light movers and minimal load, resulting in low inductance and inertia. This allows maximum motor response speed.
PSMP’s direct drive system connects the motor directly to the main shaft, removing the need for couplings or gears. This simplifies the setup, boosts efficiency, and enables highly precise, friction-free motion control.
| Category | Full Direct Drive | Direct Coupled Drive | Indirect Drive (Gear) | Indirect Drive (Belt) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Structure | Motor directly connected to shaft | Connected via coupling | Connected via gears | Connected via belt and pulley |
| Efficiency / Precision | Very high, minimal energy loss | High, slight energy loss | Moderate, loss and reduced precision from friction | Low, loss due to belt elasticity |
| Maintenance | Minimal | Coupling maintenance required | Frequent due to gear wear | Required due to belt wear |
Soft landing is a function that allows users to control shaft velocity and force via software before contacting an object. By applying the desired force value without impact acceleration (F = m × a), it prevents damage to the target and enables use in delicate or precision processes.
