When designing a linear motor into your application, it’s important to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each of the three types of direct drive linear motor systems available today.

Although many types of linear systems meet two of the three requirements engineers typically want (long travel lengths, high speed, and high positioning accuracy), linear motor actuators are the ...

Linear actuators are a great help when you’re moving something along a single axis, but with so many options, how do you decide? [Jeremy Fielding] walks us through some of the high level ...

Therefore, engineers must consider both types of load to determine the appropriate motor size for their system. Secondly, what is the linear running speed of the motor? A factor which is intricately ...

Nonlinear systems come in all shapes and sizes. Linear dynamics is a useful abstraction, but if you look long enough at any real system you consider linear, you will discover nonlinearities. It ...

We consider the solution of ill-conditioned linear systems using the singular value decomposition, and show how this can improve the accuracy of the computed solution for certain kinds of right-hand ...

We consider a class of iterative algorithms for solving systems of linear equations where the coefficient matrix is nonsymmetric with positive-definite symmetric part. The algorithms are modelled ...
