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 ...

Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

Linear motors are proliferating. They give machines the absolute highest precision and dynamic performance. Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, ...
