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 ...

Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the ...

"Even though electric vehicles might help us in transition away from fossil fuels, they also create these new problems in terms of polluting and often unstable supply chains.” When I started my video ...

Automakers are racing to redesign the heart of the electric vehicle, the traction motor, so they can cut their dependence on rare earth metals without sacrificing performance. BMW, General Motors and ...

The switch to a neodymium-intensive permanent magnet motor in a volume model like the Model 3 has some worried about long-term supply issues. Kyle Hyatt (he/him/his) hails originally from the Pacific ...

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 ...

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3M today announced a new magnet bonding adhesive system designed to provide electric motor design and manufacturing engineers with an advanced tool for bonding ...

The majority of permanent magnet motors used in today's automobile utilize ceramic magnets in a stereotype design that is a direct descendant of the wound field motor. Designers of these motors should ...

China controls about 90% of the entire global supply of rare earth magnets, including their mining and refining. That means that most of the neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium that end up in EV motors ...

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 ...

Magnetic couplings transmit high torque with no physical contact, and they disengage smoothly when load gets too high. Generally speaking, the couplings use magnetic power in three different ways; ...
