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 ...

Permanent magnet motors use magnets—rather than windings—to create the magnetic field necessary for motor operation. This design eliminates the need for external excitation and significantly reduces ...

While electric vehicles certainly offer a host of eco-friendly advantages, they're not without some asterisks, one being the rare earth materials (and harmful mining thereof) used to make the magnets ...

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 ...

MINNEAPOLIS, September 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Niron Magnetics today announced it has licensed a comprehensive portfolio of foundational Variable Flux Motor (VFM) patents. This strategic licensing ...

Claimed that Iron Nitride magnet technology offers a promising alternative to traditional rare-earth-based magnets.

How the switched reluctance motor's (SRM) architecture eliminates the need for magnets and rotor windings. Why SRMs are some of the most rugged and cost-effective motor technologies available. A look ...

The government plans to push for more R&D from the companies themselves and provide support through its incentives and R&D ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors transform electrical power into mechanical power. However, there’s no such thing as a perfect motor; there are always losses in the transformation. The three main types of ...
