This document written by Steve Bowling, Application Segments Engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses how motor works and describes the AC induction motor, variable-speed ACIM control, and FOC.
Linear induction motors (LIMs) are specialised electromagnetic machines that convert electrical energy directly into linear force, thereby eliminating the intermediary rotary step inherent in ...
Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, constant-traverse speed for machine heads and slides, as well as tool and part-handling systems. A variety of ...
