Latest version contains detailed overview of drive technologies. Aldermaston - UK, February 2011: Aerotech has released an updated edition of its popular Linear Motors Application Guide including a ...

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 ...

With its Hunstable Electric Turbine, Linear Labs promises three times the torque, twice the power and a 10% increase in range in an electric vehicle over a typical permanent magnet motor. One problem ...

Dunkermotor, now part of AMETEK Precision Motion Control, has released its first ServoTube linear motors and actuators catalog with technical specifications and drawings that cover 1,346 standard ...

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 ...

Track-roller linear guides and how they compare to other linear rails, slides, and ways to facilitate single and multi-axis linear motion — and the disparate ways these linear components integrate ...

I have found that Motors are amazing. Since my first class in electric machines I have had a lot of respect for the theory behind motors and generators. I was surfing the web when I came across an ...

There are already concepts that would see electric vehicles draw power from cables in the road, thus freeing those vehicles up from lugging around heavy batteries. British firm Texchange, however, is ...

Linear Labs, a startup developing an electric motor for cars, scooters, robots, wind turbines and even HVAC systems, has raised $4.5 million in a seed round led by Science Inc. and Kindred Ventures.

Essentially, a guide wheel is a ball bearing that has a special shaped outer race. The inner and outer races of ball bearings are a framework with a groove for the balls to rest in. Burke explained ...

Big, innovative breakthroughs often result in game-changing technologies. Smaller incremental improvements in essential material components can similarly lead to significant performance and efficiency ...

Modeling a railroad is hard. Railroads are large, linear pieces of civil engineering. So many modelers are drawn to the smallest scale they can use. Recently a new scale, named T, at 1:450 has been ...
