The levitation type linear motor car is based on the basic principle that it repels with and attracts to the magnet by switching between two magnetic poles of N pole and S pole with electromagnets.

"Aero train" which is being developed mainly by professor Yasuaki Kobama of Tohoku University Institute of Fluid Science is said to move using solar and wind energy. While the linear motor car ...

About 40 people are crowded onto the observation deck of the Yamanashi Linear Test Line Center, holding their cameras at the ready and waiting for the world's fastest train — an experimental maglev ...

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 ...

Launching things with electromagnetism is pretty fun, with linear induction motors being a popular design that finds use from everywhere in hobby designs like [Tom Stanton]’s to the electromagnetic ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

Driven by an ultrasonic piezoelectric motor, the M-663, M-664, and M-682 linear stages provide travel ranges to 50 mm. Features include a height of 15 mm, high acceleration to 20 g for fast start/stop ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.
