Transverse flux machines (TFMs) represent a significant evolution in electric machine design, notable for their unique magnetic flux orientation that is perpendicular to the rotor axis. This ...

The origins of magnetic steel can be traced back to the 18 th century when scientists began experimenting with iron alloys. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted's accidental discovery of electromagnetism ...

Smaller, streamlined electronics make lubricant-free, low-friction magnetic bearings feasible for more rotating machines. • Magnetic bearings support rotating shafts in five axes without solid or ...

Figure 1 Schematic diagrams of two superconducting flux qubit circuits. The conventional qubit (a) requires an external magnetic field to operate optimally, while the new flux qubit (b), using a ...

Investigating solar corona structures has led Paul Bellan, Caltech professor of applied physics, and his former graduate student Yang Zhang (Ph.D. '24) to discover a new equilibrium state of the ...

A new magnetic digital encoder featuring 14-bit resolution, differential outputs, and a speed range of up to 200-k e-RPM offers accurate and cost-effective position sensing for various robotic and ...

The types of magnetic sensors that are currently available. How the magnetic sensors work. Applications for the different magnetic sensors. Position sensors enable a variety of functions and controls ...

More-powerful controllers and better software lead to broader applications for magnetic bearings. Magnetic-bearings, which support shafts with magnetic levitation rather than mechanical contact, have ...
