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 ...

Vimag Labs secures $5 million to advance its innovative magnet-free motor technology for automotive and industrial ...

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3M today announced a new magnet bonding adhesive system designed to provide electric motor design and manufacturing engineers with an advanced tool for bonding ...

China controls about 90% of the entire global supply of rare earth magnets, including their mining and refining. That means that most of the neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium that end up in EV motors ...

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 ...

The electric motors that power today’s EVs rely on permanent magnets made using rare-earth metals such as neodymium. Rare earths are the 15 elements whose atomic numbers run from 57 to 71, plus ...

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 ...

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 ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the seemingly endless quest for higher motor performance and improved system cost efficiencies, motor manufacturers ...
