With its Hunstable Electric Turbine, Linear Labs promises three times the torque, twice the power and a 10% increase in range in an electric vehicle over a typical permanent magnet motor. One problem ...

Linear Labs, a startup developing an electric motor for cars, scooters, robots, wind turbines and even HVAC systems, has raised $4.5 million in a seed round led by Science Inc. and Kindred Ventures.

When most engineers hear the term motor they most-naturally think of rotating arrangements such as brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper, or variable-frequency prime movers. But a motor doesn’t have to be ...

A video at dunkermotor.com lets design engineers visualize tubular linear servomotor use. The fast-accelerating motors employ solid-state sensing to provide encoderless position information with ...

Infineon has created a pair of motor controllers for small automotive electric motors.

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Parker’s Electric Thrust Tubular (ETT) Series is a tubular style linear motor made up of two main components: the ...

Scientists from Stellenbosch University in South Africa have designed a new gravity energy storage system, based on linear electric machines (LEM), that could be used in decommissioned mines. “The ...

Encoders are the most widely used feedback devices for electric motor control, capable of delivering precise position and speed feedback for closed-loop performance. With numerous technology options ...

Electric vehicles function in fundamentally different ways than traditional cars. Internal combustion engines have loads of moving parts, and while EVs have their own complexities, they’re much more ...
