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 ...

To fully appreciate the chief advantages of linear motors, it is helpful to compare them to ballscrews, another high-precision rotary-to-linear transmission system. Although typical ballscrews are ...

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, ...

We admit that this project doesn’t have very many details available, but it was just too neat for us to pass up. It’s a small linear motor which [ligonapProduktion] built after seeing a very brief ...

When most engineers hear the term motor they most-naturally think of rotating arrangements such as brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper, or variable-frequency prime movers. But a motor doesn’t have to be ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. William covers motorbikes, E-bikes, cars, trucks and mobility tech. With the electric vehicle (EV) market heating up and due to ...

The LBIM-021 series of linear three-phase brushless servo motors from Moticont are sized to fit a broad range of linear motion applications. The series is comprised of four sizes of forcers (the ...

The running joke in the Hunstable family was that Fred Hunstable never knew that garages were where you parked your cars. Instead, they served as places for the nuclear and electrical engineer to ...

China's first linear-motor-powered metro train recently left the station. The first high efficiency linear motor (LM) propulsion system to power a metro train was successfully tested and validated at ...
