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 ...

By removing rare earths from the equation, these designs promise cleaner supply chains and more sustainable production.

The electric motors that power today’s EVs rely on permanent magnets made using rare-earth metals such as neodymium. Rare earths are the 15 elements whose atomic numbers run from 57 to 71, plus ...

This article discusses a magnetic encoder intended for electrical motor driving employing ATS605LSG. It includes the advantages of magnetic encoder, guidelines for motor driving, general applications ...

Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the ...

Promising the performance and lifetime of a moving coil motor, the RE-max motor measures 24 mm in diameter and employs Neodymium magnets. Using a patented rhombic moving coil design, the iron-less ...

Never mind present-day’s bonny blather on the benefits of electric, hydrogen and biofuel power. How do you feel about magnets? Better make up your mind, stat; as of this morning, a company named ...

MUNICH, Germany—ZF unveiled an electric motor that does not require magnets or rare earth materials, reducing reliance on mining in countries such as China and cutting manufacturing's carbon footprint ...

Linear motion is central to many moving machines, and the direct-drive nature of linear motors can simplify overall machine design in these applications. Other benefits include improved stiffness, ...
