Linear motion is central to many moving machines, and the direct-drive nature of linear motors can simplify overall machine design in these applications. Other benefits include improved stiffness, ...

Embedded computing and optimized machine learning models make PdM viable in small, distributed and cost-sensitive systems.

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 ...

Lexium MDrive integrated motor systems expand industrial field bus communication options with the release of CANopen with M12 circular connectors on NEMA motor sizes 23 & 34. The robust package of ...

Faced with ever-increasing cost pressures and demands for improved performance, machine builders are actively seeking new automation solutions with improved cost/performance ratios. In response to ...

Molecular motors come in all shapes and sizes, but they generally run on either chemical fuels or light. Now, a team led by J. Fraser Stoddart at Northwestern University has invented a molecular motor ...
