Launching things with electromagnetism is pretty fun, with linear induction motors being a popular design that finds use from everywhere in hobby designs like [Tom Stanton]’s to the electromagnetic ...

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 ...

Linear motors generate force only in the direction of travel. A linear motor applies thrust directly to a load, and does not require any intermediate mechanism to convert rotary motion into linear ...

Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, constant-traverse speed for machine heads and slides, as well as tool and part-handling systems. A variety of ...

For rotary or linear motors, motion is produced in the same way and the same basic physics and electromagnetic forces apply. The theory that produces "torque" in a rotary motor produces "force" in a ...

READERS of a certain age may remember “Fireball XL5”, a children’s television programme devised by Gerry Anderson about a spacecraft of that name. Instead of taking off vertically, as real spacecraft ...

Description: Widely used in industrial applications Robust, with comparatively simple structures, and can run on industrial power. Our lineup features a wide-variety of motors from the standard series ...
