The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. But large air gaps and low efficiencies ...

The V-573 motion control family combines precision and speed for demanding research and production environments, according to ...

The advanced stage design provides for excellent straightness and flatness values as low as 1µm. Crossed roller bearings ...

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, ...

Electric vehicles are becoming an increasingly common sight for most people. Whether it's seeing a shiny new Tesla drive down the street, or hopping on a light rail train or renting an electric ...

The running joke in the Hunstable family was that Fred Hunstable never knew that garages were where you parked your cars. Instead, they served as places for the nuclear and electrical engineer to ...

Fort Worth-based Linear Labs wants to put its electric motors into everything from scooters to air conditioners — and it wants to make them in North Texas. The startup opened a new lab and ...

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 ...

Linear induction motors (LIMs) are specialised electromagnetic machines that convert electrical energy directly into linear force, thereby eliminating the intermediary rotary step inherent in ...

Fort Worth startup Linear Labs has raised $6 million in new funding in its quest to build a better motor. The investment follows Linear Labs' recent $68.9 million incentive deal with Fort Worth to ...
