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, ...

The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. But large air gaps and low efficiencies ...

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Smarter energy company Linear Labs has launched production of its new High Torque and Ultra High Efficiency electric motor and new intelligence drive system, called ...

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 ...

Linear induction motors (LIMs) are specialised electromagnetic machines that convert electrical energy directly into linear force, thereby eliminating the intermediary rotary step inherent in ...

[Raul] built a cheap linear actuator out of a drawer slide and a surplus flatbed scanner. A few builds we’ve seen, like the PCB drill press or the horribly inefficient thermostat, used linear ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. More than 80% of the motors bought each year continue to be low-cost single-phase ac motors. Because these motors are not very efficient when ...

Moticont's brushless miniature DC linear voice coil motor is built with haptic feedback efficiency for medical/surgical instruments, vibration damping, laser machining, packaging, wafer handling, and ...

New bench top motor controller adds USB input, ActiveX command library for SQUIGGLE motors and closed-loop stages. The controller is designed for laboratory and research nanopositioning applications ...
