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 ...

A line of Nippon Pulse’s linear shaft motors that features analog Hall effect sensors to enable closed-loop positioning without a linear encoder. Linear motors can be described as uncurled 3-phase ...

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 ...
