Feedback is usually from a linear encoder able to provide high resolution and accuracy. Among the encoder technologies used are optical, magnetostrictive, magnetic, and inductive. For applications ...

Instead of using the same magnetic levitation ... coils of wire on the track and a magnetic system on the pod combined with linear induction motors to achieve high-speed travel.

Though it may surprise you to learn, most roller coasters that launch you use sophisticated ... induced magnetic fields come in two main types: Linear induction motors (LIM) and linear synchronous ...

With their high speed, acceleration ... linear force. In the unique ServoTube design, the magnetic forces are balanced, and motion is smooth and cogging-free as opposed to flat-bed linear motors. The ...
