Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...

This application note provides some guidelines to select a magnet to be used in combination with the MLX90316. Only the End-Shaft magnetic circuit is considered and the associated performances vs ...

Over the last 40 years, permanent-magnet couplings have come into the manufacturing forefront. This technology can operate at high speeds without contact or wear of active components, and at ...

Robotic designs that operate autonomously or alongside human workers offer convenience, efficiency and accuracy, greatly benefiting the manufacturing and industrial sectors. Here, monitoring motor ...

Gravity basically doesn’t factor into a new style of rotation-based magnetic levitation being developed. This spin-stabilized levitation uses a rotating magnet to steady the levitating magnet and lock ...

Motion-control or industrial automation system designers who need to measure the rotation of shafts or other mechanical components can typically choose from two types of rotary encoders. Encoders ...

An image of the experiments showing a coil that the researchers used to measure the frequency at one point. (Courtesy: R Bjørk) Magnetic levitation is already employed in systems such as Maglev trains ...
