Abstract: The piezoelectric thin-film traveling-wave micro-motor based on the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) process has the advantages of compact size, easy integration and batch production.

Abstract: In this article, for the first time, a novel stepper motor predicated on harmonic drive principles is introduced. The input rotation is generated by switching of electromagnetic attraction.

Mainspring Energy will deliver at least one of its linear power generators to the U.S. Department of the Air Force (DAF) in a pilot program testing power generation on multiple fuels including natural ...

MIT researchers built a 3D printer that can produce a fully functioning electric linear motor in about three hours for 50 cents in materials. Linear motors are typically used in optical systems and ...

What just happened? 3D printing has become very good at making shapes, but making complex machines with moving parts is where most printers tap out. MIT researchers, however, have developed a ...
