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 ...

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 ...

Machine and robot builders recognize linear motor benefits, but some are reluctant to integrate the components into design because of incomplete understanding of the technology. Here we overcome that ...

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 ...

In applications demanding precision and throughput, linear motor production systems usually need to be built from the ground up. Fractional microns accuracy requires feedback from an optical encoder, ...

TOKYO, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- The world's fasted railway speed was achieved in Japan Tuesday when a manned linear-motor train reached 361 mph. In a run on test tracks conducted by the Central Japan Railway ...

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 ...
