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-motor driven plunger pumps are most efficient at transforming mechanical energy to hydraulic work in low-producing and highly deviated wells. Linear-motor driven plunger pumps (LMDPP) are most ...

Since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis at the latest, the pharmaceutical industry and laboratories have been under pressure to realize the highest possible levels of automation. Necessary here ...

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 ...

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 ...

The things often prioritized in the list of requirements of design engineers from the precision automation sector are different from those of their colleagues in the instrumentation industry. Dynamic ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the next few weeks, linear motors will face their ultimate litmus test. After years in the eye of a swirling technical storm, surrounded by doubters who say they're too expensive, supported by a ...
