Linear induction motors (LIMs) are specialised electromagnetic machines that convert electrical energy directly into linear force, thereby eliminating the intermediary rotary step inherent in ...

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 ...

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. announced the filing of four new utility patent applications for its Annular Linear Induction Pump (ALIP) technology, which is crucial for advanced molten-salt and ...

When designing for linear motion applications, it's often better to choose a linear motor over a rotary servomotor and rotary-to-linear conversion components. When designing for linear motion ...

Here’s how power losses and inertia matching affect the efficiency of linear drives. The operating efficiency of linear drives is of growing concern to machine designers. Here's a look at three common ...

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 ...
