My application is a fast pick and place machine. Peak force has to be high enough so quick move are possible (33 lbs payload, 10 inches travel in 160 msec), but more important is the continuous force, since the motion has to be repeated on and on after just a 50 msec dwell time.

My question is: How to select the most efficient linear motor?
I know that the parameter involved is called Km (N/sqrW).
I've also read in an article that the best linear motor design was developed by a French company called ETEL. Is it true? Is the Km parameter a good figure of merit?
