Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

While electric vehicles certainly offer a host of eco-friendly advantages, they're not without some asterisks, one being the rare earth materials (and harmful mining thereof) used to make the magnets ...

The global price of energy is at an all-time high, with few signs of relief in sight, making consumers and businesses alike interested in energy conservation. Currently, the most common motor type in ...

AML's permanent magnets are sized, shaped, and magnetized to optimize performance and cost of end-use products MELBOURNE, Fla., March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Magnet Lab, Inc. ("AML" or the ...

In this video, we explore how a magnet can transform into a motor, illustrating the underlying principles with 3D animations.

The electric motors that power today’s EVs rely on permanent magnets made using rare-earth metals such as neodymium. Rare earths are the 15 elements whose atomic numbers run from 57 to 71, plus ...

There seems to be some confusion within the industry about the terms “permanent magnet synchronous motors” (PMSMs) and “brushless DC (BLDC) motors”. I’ve talked with several different application ...

MUNICH, Germany—ZF unveiled an electric motor that does not require magnets or rare earth materials, reducing reliance on mining in countries such as China and cutting manufacturing's carbon footprint ...
