The magnetic way design and the forcer material together determine the linear motor type ... the tricky part is choosing the right rails size to ensure a reasonable lifetime.

This video is an animation of the principle behind PI’s magnetic linear motors. The magnetic linear motors correspond to a sequence of a number of voice-coil actuators; individual coils can be ...

A linear dc motor, like a rotating dc motor, generates mechanical force by the interaction of current in conductors and magnetic flux ... from a pair of copper rails, and the second set transfers ...

from superconducting magnets cooled by liquid helium to linear motors that replace traditional wheels. With a 10 cm hover gap and zero contact with the rails, these trains promise smooth ...

It’s called the Hunstable Electric Turbine, or HET, and it features what Linear Labs claims is the first real re-think of how an electric motor works. The secret sauce? The Magnetic Torque Tunnel.

Instead, it runs on rails that act as linear motors, using magnetic fields to accelerate cabins along their length. When a cabin stops at a floor, those rails can rotate so that it can move off ...

In the unique ServoTube design, the magnetic forces are balanced, and motion is smooth and cogging-free as opposed to flat-bed linear motors. The innovative ServoTube forcer coils optimize use of the ...

Launching things with electromagnetism is pretty fun, with linear induction motors being a popular design ... exact design details differ, they use magnetic attraction and repulsion to create ...
