While engineering is arguably one of the main agents of prosperity, the shortage of energy is a major concern on the path to a better quality of life. Electric energy represents about 40% of all energy used today as it enhances industrial productivity and causes less pollution. Electric motion control in industry is ultimately related to electric energy conversion and its flow control.
Linear electric (electromagnetic) machines (LEMs) realize the conversion of electrical energy to linear motion mechanical energy (or vice versa) directly through electromagnetic forces. Linear motion is very common in industry. ...
