Linear motion is central to many moving machines, and the direct-drive nature of linear motors can simplify overall machine design in these applications. Other benefits include improved stiffness, ...

To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

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 ...

Industrial linear motors offer design engineers the possibility of constructing machines in new ways. Fast, simple, and flexible, linear motors are easy to install and in many cases come with ...

With its Hunstable Electric Turbine, Linear Labs promises three times the torque, twice the power and a 10% increase in range in an electric vehicle over a typical permanent magnet motor. One problem ...

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 ...

With the electric vehicle (EV) market heating up and due to become ever hotter, there’s a lot of focus on the key components that go into this major evolution of transportation technologies. Batteries ...

Fort Worth-based Linear Labs wants to put its electric motors into everything from scooters to air conditioners — and it wants to make them in North Texas. The startup opened a new lab and ...

Over on Hackaday.io we have a lot of people playing around with the possibilities presented by cheap printed circuit boards. Whether that means making a quadcopter from fiberglass or a speaker from ...

[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 ...
