The global price of energy is at an all-time high, with few signs of relief in sight, making consumers and businesses alike interested in energy conservation. Currently, the most common motor type in ...

A number of readers questioned the veracity of the technology presented in this article. To address their concerns, we did a follow-up, which can be found here. Permanent magnets are an integral part ...

In applications demanding precision and throughput, linear motor production systems usually need to be built from the ground up. Fractional microns accuracy requires feedback from an optical encoder, ...

Disc motors are permanent-magnet stepping motors that exhibit performance comparable to that of hybrid motors. Rotors in disc motors are thin (typically less than 1-mm) discs, unlike the cylindrical ...

The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...

Most electric vehicles have motors that use permanent magnets made with rare earth elements. These magnets make EV motors quieter and more efficient and are what give the vehicles their instant ...

It seems electric motors just needed a push to present amazing technical developments. And that this push came from electric cars. Now we see new concepts fairly often, such as the Magnax motor or the ...
