Finally, as with all linear motors, the moving magnet does not contact any of the motor's stationary elements, so there is none of the frictional wear associated with mechanical power transmission.

There are two important alignments in most linear motor assemblies: the motor-to-magnet gap distance between the coil and the magnet track, and the gap distance between the encoder read head and ...

It’s a small linear motor which [ligonapProduktion] ... and are controlled like 3-phase permanent magnet motors (with block or sine wave commutation), and with or without hall sensors.

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 … ...

Indeed, the future for Linear Labs - and electric motor makers in general - is wide open when you consider how many millions of products in our modern lives require an electric motor, and how they ...

Linear motors consist of two basic components: the permanent magnet assembly, or stator, and the electrically energized forcer, which transports the load. Interaction between stator and forcer ...

The magnetic linear motors correspond to a sequence of a number of voice-coil actuators; individual coils can be regulated according to a position-dependent, defined pattern (commutation). In general, ...

In terms of bandwidth, linear motors provide high performance in applications involving rapid short-distance increments. This is particularly true for repetitive X-Y positioning systems, where the ...

Linear Labs has presented a new direct-drive electric motor, the HET, with 30 percent less use of copper and at least two times more torque density.
