The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. But large air gaps and low efficiencies prevented linear motors from being widely used. Though they still have relatively ...

Linear motors are proliferating. They give machines the absolute highest precision and dynamic performance. Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, ...

Once considered expensive and exotic, linear motors are at last becoming valuable workhorses in a variety of OEM applications. Besides delivering nanometer precision in the semiconductor and machine ...

A linear motor is referred to as an electromagnetic device that generates motion along a straight path. The motor consists of a primary part known as the stator, which contains a series of ...

The things often prioritized in the list of requirements of design engineers from the precision automation sector are different from those of their colleagues in the instrumentation industry. Dynamic ...

For medium- and high-voltage applications, Kollmorgen’s latest DDL motor offers a new capability to support 400/480V AC-powered applications. It delivers a continuous force range up to 8,211 N and ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

Pune, Nov. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The New Report “Tubular Linear Motor Market Size, Statistics, Trend Analysis, and Forecast Report, 2022–2032” shows insights and data published by Market ...

The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...

This document written by Steve Bowling, Application Segments Engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses how motor works and describes the AC induction motor, variable-speed ACIM control, and FOC.
