The aim of this paper is to present a new model for the linear induction motor (LIM), which is based on its equivalence with the asymmetrical rotary induction motor. The model uses the theory of positive, negative and zero sequence of symmetrical and asymmetrical components. Experimental and simulation procedures with a LIM prototype allowed the theoretical and experimental validation for this ...

In the paper a switched reluctance rotary-linear motor is proposed. It is mechanically robust, simple to construct and easy to operate also in hostile working environment. The stator has a modular design compound of three correctly shifted usual 16 poles SRM stators. The rotor is constructed of several common 12 poles SRM rotor stacks. The motor is able to ensure both rotating and linear moveme...

The present project has the objective to model and simulate a special linear motor known as a Berdut linear motor. The motor’s governing equations are derived from Maxwell's equation and Newton's law of motion. These equations are coupled through the Lorenz force. Appropriate boundary conditions and initial conditions are also determined. This system does not have an exact solution. The set of ...

A miniature linear synchronous motor was designed, fabricated and tested. Actuation was achieved through interaction of traveling magnetic wave, generated by linear array of microcoils on the stator, and permanent magnets on the rotor. Two configurations of the motor were investigated. One with a single hand-assembled permanent magnet on rotor and corresponding array of multiturn microcoils; th...

Recruitment of movement-related muscle synergies involves the functional linking of motor cortical points. We asked how the outputs of two simultaneously stimulated motor cortical points would interact. To this end, experiments were done in ketamine-anesthetized cats. When prolonged (e.g., 500 ms) trains of intracortical microstimulation were applied in the primary motor cortex, stimulus curren...
