Linear motors
Linear motors are specialized electric motors that produce motion directly along a straight path, eliminating the need for gears or pulleys. They work by generating a magnetic field that interacts with a conductor, moving the component (called the "or perhaps "mover") smoothly and precisely in a straight line. Think of it like a very efficient, frictionless slide powered by magnetic forces. These motors are used in applications requiring high-speed, accurate movement, such as in manufacturing automation, transportation systems like maglev trains, and precision machinery. They offer fast response times and precise control without complex mechanisms.
