Zero Detent Torque
Lin Engineering's Z series motors, specifically the ZH417 and ZN417 models, are engineered to deliver virtually zero detent torque, resulting in exceptionally smooth motion and enhanced precision and accuracy in operation. These motors are distinguished by their superior performance, maintaining an accuracy of ±1.5 arc minutes under 64x microstepping. This level of precision is significantly higher than the industry standard for 0.9° step motors, which typically exhibit an error range of ±4.5 to ±18 arc minutes. This makes the Z series an ideal choice for applications demanding high accuracy and minimal mechanical resistance.

Zero Backlash
Lin Engineering's Zero Backlash technology incorporates the LinFinity Plus anti-backlash nuts into our linear actuators, providing a suite of advanced features that enhance performance across various applications. This technology ensures bi-directional tension anti-backlash, which maintains precision and consistency in movement by eliminating any play between moving parts. Additionally, the self-lubrication feature reduces the need for maintenance, while the increased thrust capability allows for handling higher loads. The adjustable preload offers customizable performance to match specific application needs, and the low drag torque enhances efficiency by minimizing resistance during operation. Together, these features make Zero Backlash technology an optimal solution for applications requiring high precision and reliability.

Zero Cogging
Lin Engineering's slotless BLDC motors are engineered to eliminate virtually all cogging torque, enhancing their operational characteristics in precision-dependent applications. The absence of cogging facilitates smoother motion profiles and increases positional accuracy, critical for applications requiring fine control. These motors demonstrate improved efficiency by reducing energy losses typically incurred through magnetic detent forces. Additionally, the lower noise and vibration levels contribute to a more stable system environment and decrease wear on mechanical components, thereby extending the operational lifespan of the motor. This suite of features positions Lin Engineering's slotless BLDC motors as a superior choice for systems where reliability and precision are paramount.

Zero Length
"Zero Length" technology from Lin Engineering optimizes performance without extending the physical length of our products, exemplified by the new 3618 Series motor. This motor marks a significant advancement in design, integrating high-speed capabilities within a low-profile configuration. When coupled with our slim planetary gearbox, the 3618 Series motor delivers substantial torque over a wide speed range, yet maintains an ultra-slim profile. This design innovation enables enhanced functionality in applications where space constraints are critical, without compromising on power or efficiency.
Zero-Tech
Zero Exposure
"Zero Exposure" technology from Lin Engineering is engineered to ensure optimal performance in extreme environments by minimizing the exposure of motor internals and electronics to adverse environmental factors. This includes our IP-rated motors, which are designed to prevent the ingress of moisture, dust, and other contaminants, protecting the essential components from damage and wear. Additionally, our vacuum-rated motors are specifically tailored to operate efficiently in vacuum environments with minimal outgassing. These motors are constructed to maintain integrity and functionality in settings where conventional motors might fail, making them ideal for applications requiring high reliability and minimal environmental interaction.
