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 ...

India's major ports are implementing high-speed transportation systems like magnetic rail and hyperloop to reduce carbon ...

Ok, I lied. This is more of a "do my math" request than a question. :p I'm working on a project that requires lifting a 10 lb load vertically using a lead screw (threaded shaft) and then lowering ...

From ‘zipper crush’ to the actuation of a tear-notch-cutting assembly, these linear servo motors are just the ticket. They also minimize up-front cost as well as ongoing energy consumption. This ...

Pneumatic and hydraulic linear actuators operate on pressure differentials; electromechanical actuators are either linear motors or rotary types. Other differences abound.

Linear Labs CEO Brad Hunstable has a plan to make motors for electric vehicles using robots and iron ferrite, a more basic, and readily available metal.

Father-son duo Fred (left) and Brad Hunstable began tinkering with electric motors as a hobby. They've turned that home garage project into Fort Worth-based Linear Labs.(Lawrence Jenkins / Special ...

The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago.
