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 ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. William covers motorbikes, E-bikes, cars, trucks and mobility tech. With the electric vehicle (EV) market heating up and due to ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

The leading German tech giants over at Mahle have developed an electric motor that doesn’t use permanent magnets. It has the potential of powering a wide range of vehicles, it’s highly efficient, and ...
