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 ...

Electric motors are everywhere—from the cars we drive to the appliances in our homes—but most rely on rare earth magnets that come with high costs and environmental challenges. A new wave of ...

Never mind present-day’s bonny blather on the benefits of electric, hydrogen and biofuel power. How do you feel about magnets? Better make up your mind, stat; as of this morning, a company named ...

Despite the battery electric vehicle (BEV) market growing at a slower rate than in previous years, BEV sales will continue to rise, driven by the availability of more models and regulatory pressure.

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 ...

South Korean researchers have developed a next-generation magnet technology that could significantly boost the efficiency of ...

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 ...

Rare earth magnets are a crucial component of electric motors in an electric vehicle (EV). According to IDTechEx, rare earth permanent magnet motors have retained a greater than 75% market share since ...
