LIN ENGINEERING公司成立于1991年，是全球第一大 0.9°系列混合式步进电机制造商。LIN ENGINEERING位于全球顶尖高科技企业和人才汇集的美国硅谷，其产品主要应用于北美医疗仪器设备、高端安防监控设备以及航空航天电子设备等高端市场。2014年，LIN ENGINEERING公司年销售55万台0.9º混合式步进电机。

LIN ENGINEERING创始人Ted T. Lin先生是世界上第一个将所设计的0.9度步进电机（0.9-degree stepper）应用于硬磁盘上的人。该项设计满足了硬盘驱动器高道密度、准确并快速存取的要求。早在1984年间，因在步进电机设计领域的杰出贡献，他被美国华纳电气公司（Warner Electric）誉为 “新型步进电机技术之父”。

2015年6月3日，上海鸣志电器股份有限公司成功收购位于美国硅谷的LIN ENGINEERING公司。

During the last 25 years, Lin Engineering has reinvented and perfected the stepper motor technology in order to solve problems that had no clear solutions. Today, with our large assortment of standard and custom step motors, linear actuators, BLDC motors, drivers, and controllers, we’re able to provide solutions to even the most unique pains in motion control.

Lin Engineering was founded by Ted Lin in 1987 as a consulting company specializing in step motor applications. Throughout our history, we’ve continued to develop our capabilities in the areas of design engineering, manufacturing, and customer service. In 1991, we’ve expanded our operations to include manufacturing of our own hybrid step motors. Since then, we have developed our product lines to include drivers, optical encoders, spur and planetary gearboxes, and step motor drives.

President Ted Lin is one of the foremost step motor designers in the industry. In 1984, Warner Electric named him “Father of New Step Motor Technology” at their Motion Control System Division, where he directed the design of the step motors for early disk drive applications.
