Tecnotion inverts linear motor principle

When you think about linear motors, probably the first thing that comes to mind is a coil unit moving a mass along a linear magnet track, but recent developments in bus systems and logic controllers open up whole new application areas. Controllers are getting more and more intelligent and enable linear motors to perform tasks that we could only dream about just a couple of years ago. One type of application is becoming increasingly attractive for a wide variety of industries: the so-called Dynamic Moving Magnet (DMM) concept...
