Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning systems, is expanding its portfolio ...

A number of readers questioned the veracity of the technology presented in this article. To address their concerns, we did a follow-up, which can be found here. Permanent magnets are an integral part ...

We recently published an article on the Power Electronics with the headline, “Unique Motor Uses Only Permanent Magnets – No Electric Power Required.” We received a firestorm of criticism that this ...

Continuing headlines about superefficient electric drives might lead some observers to wonder about the future of three-phase induction motors. The truth is that induction motors aren’t going away any ...

Explore the fascinating world of perpetual motion through a deep dive into magnet motors. This video unveils the science and theories behind building a perpetual motion machine and magnet motor, ...

Is the dependence on rare earths for electric vehicle motors soon to be over? A magnet-free innovation promises to enhance motor efficiency while being more environmentally friendly. Mahle, based in ...

This study focuses on the direct-drive ultrasonic resonant motors called PILine ® motors. Their direct-drive design enables ultra-low response times and highly precise positioning without any backlash ...

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 ...
