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

A series of three-phase induction motor softstarters prevents motors from experiencing the stress of high inrush currents (typically six to nine times nominal values) that can cause electrical and ...

Since AC induction motors have been established as the preferred choice for industrial motors and the need for reduced power in all aspects of design is ever present, the efficiency of these motors is ...

Small and medium AC induction motors account for more than 75% of motor electrical energy demand; however, they typically receive less maintenance than their larger counterparts. This leaves them ...

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 ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

Magnetic-free dual-coil technology can create a high-resolution, precise, and reliable solution for motor position sensors used in robotics, industrial, and medical devices. The need for accuracy and ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Motors are rated by the output power they can produce over a given time period without overheating. These ratings are ...

Industry 4.0 is seen as the new era of manufacturing, combining technology, robotics, artificial intelligence and automation to create an efficient and effective manufacturing process. Industrial use ...
