For rotary AC motors, asynchronous (induction) motors are more common than synchronous motors. But when it comes to linear motion, linear synchronous motors, abbreviated LSMs, are more common. The vast majority of LSMs I’ve seen have permanent magnets, so this article focuses exclusively on permanent magnet LSMs. Structure of Linear Synchronous Motors In general, linear
Linear motors move in a straight line with linear force and speed. Linear motion is needed in many types of systems, but linear motors aren’t commonly used by makers or professional engineers. That’s because these motors aren’t well-understood, there aren’t many manufacturers, and they’re expensive. For these reasons, designers frequently obtain linear motion by connecting

Introduction of microcontroller Microcontroller is a type of single-chip integrated circuit that contains one or more microprocessor cores, instruction sets, flash memory, RAM, EEPROM, external bus interfaces, and various digital/analog input/output ports. Its main function is to interact, control, monitor, and transfer data with peripheral devices based on programmed code, collect data from external signal

This article focuses on a motor intended for motion control—the servomotor, or servo. Whereas stepper motors rotate through an angle and halt, many servo motors rotate continuously. Properly controlled, a servo can do everything a stepper can and more. In addition to setting the rotation angle, the controller can configure the servo’s rotational speed and
