To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

China's first linear-motor-powered metro train recently left the station. The first high efficiency linear motor (LM) propulsion system to power a metro train was successfully tested and validated at ...

A linear motion system from ATR Strothmann in Ontario, Canada (www.strothmann.com,) uses magnetic levitation and a linear motor, similar to a magnetically levitated train. Machine Design distills the ...
