This study provides a comprehensive overview of the ALMs for direct-drive applications, mainly focusing on their topology structures, working principles, performances evaluation and control techniques ...

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 ...

Machine and robot builders recognize linear motor benefits, but some are reluctant to integrate the components into design because of incomplete understanding of the technology. Here we overcome that ...
