Perspectives of linear motors in electrical engineering

Abstract

The use of electric linear motion machines is one of the main directions of scientific research in the more advanced drive systems development. The relevance of this direction is due to a wide range of tasks that are set for electric drive systems and the complexity of their designs resulting from various kinematic chains. One of the advantages of using linear electric motors is their ability to compete successfully with other types of drives in many branches of technology, such as automation, instrumentation, robotics, medical technology, etc. The absence of a converter and the ability to perform different types of movement makes linear motors attractive for various applications. One of the promising tasks is the implementation of the translational movement of the mechanism working body using a linear electric motor. This provides new opportunities for the development and improvement of various industrial and technological processes.
