Linear motors are synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...

This eBook places the focus on the effective design of motion control solutions for industrial machinery. Learn about applications in Cartesian robots, or long-travel linear robots, where the ...

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 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.

In the next few weeks, linear motors will face their ultimate litmus test. After years in the eye of a swirling technical storm, surrounded by doubters who say they're too expensive, supported by a ...

The design of different three-phase brushless DC motors and how they generate torque. How magnetics, construction, and other factors impact torque, speed, and smoothness in BLDC motors. General ...
