To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

The human eye's highly nonlinear response to light levels poses problems for designers of adjustable lighting. Simple hardware or software linear-control methods compress most of the apparent ...

The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. But large air gaps and low efficiencies prevented linear motors from being widely used. Though they still have relatively ...

Linear motors are synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...

Linear motion positioning stages are found in many applications from material handling and assembly to inspection and testing and employ many different technologies. Just looking at the different ...
