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, ...

Engineers rely on motion-control devices to improve efficiencies and production rates on automated factory floors, or at least maintain them. One family of such devices, stepper motors, is widely used ...

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 ...

A testing machine can be used to push, pull or twist a sample of the material in order to determine the mechanical properties of a material. Many materials are strain rate sensitive which means that ...

He also has extensive knowledge of, and practical expertise with, the National Electrical Code (NEC). Through his consulting ...

A growing global trend these days is the use of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) in appliance applications. This is driven by a number of factors, ranging from raw material costs that ...
