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 ...

Linear motors are proliferating. They give machines the absolute highest precision and dynamic performance. Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, ...

Free-piston engine generators and linear machines represent an innovative departure from conventional rotary systems, offering high thermal efficiency and operational flexibility by eliminating the ...

This installment starts a new segment of lessons about state machines. The subject conceptually continues the event-driven theme and is one of my favorites [1,2]. Today, you’ll learn what event-driven ...
