As frustrating as having an atmosphere can be for physicists, it’s just as bad for astronomers, who have to deal with clouds, atmospheric absorption of certain wavelengths, and other irritations. One ...

Motion control systems are foundational to industrial automation, where they regulate motors, actuators and drives for precise, coordinated motion.

For applications requiring sub-micrometer precision, PI’s L-220 series linear actuators provide reliable, high-precision motion in a compact design. Engineered for demanding tasks in optics, photonics ...

Machine Design’s Motion Systems Takeover Week mapped advances driving faster, smarter engineering in hardware (kinematics) ...

Abstract: Scaling down linear actuators is crucial for various industrial applications, yet the efficiency of electromagnetic linear actuators decreases significantly as they are miniaturized.

Abstract: This paper proposes a modified primary flux linkage and an improved weighting less model predictive control for linear induction motors (LIMs) to enhance the drive system in terms of linear ...
