Pneumatic and hydraulic linear actuators operate on pressure differentials; electromechanical actuators are either linear motors or rotary types. Other differences abound. Mark Lemire, Product manager ...

Brad Hunstable has a big plan for supplying electric vehicle motors that involves no less than a radical new design for motors, with more than 70 patents. It requires the creation of a high-speed, ...

The origins of Permanent Magnet Brushless DC motors (PMDC). How the efficiency of electric motors increases as you increase the number of phases. How to optimally control stators as you increase the ...

Tailored for use with the company's tin-can rotary and linear stepper motors, the NP3775 debuts as a bipolar chopper driver and the NP7380 as a state logic (phase distribution) chip. The NP3775 dual ...

Donut Lab, which unveiled a family of in-wheel electric motors at CES 2025, has spent almost a decade searching for one of the holy grails of the EV industry: in-wheel motors that actually work. These ...

Proportional integral derivative (PID) control is a common method used to regulate the dynamic behavior of a system. Examples are found in many industrial devices, where it’s employed for control of ...

Father-son duo Fred (left) and Brad Hunstable began tinkering with electric motors as a hobby. They've turned that home garage project into Fort Worth-based Linear Labs.(Lawrence Jenkins / Special ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

Tesla is hinting at making electric motors for airplanes, boats, and more in a new trademark filing that went unnoticed. Update: It turns out a Tesla fan filed the trademark on behalf of Tesla – ...
