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 ...

Proper motor, motion control, and automation technology benefits from standard units with easy interconnectivity, scalable design for right-priced solutions, and software with smart wizards and ...

The operating efficiency of linear drives is of growing concern to machine designers. Here's a look at three common linear actuators — linear induction motors, rolled and ground ball screws, and rack ...

This study provides a comprehensive overview of the ALMs for direct-drive applications, mainly focusing on their topology structures, working principles, performances evaluation and control techniques ...
