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 ...

Newswise — Many of the industrial motors used today are induction motors. However, permanent magnet motors are generally more efficient than induction motors and can be more cost-effective in the long ...

Several companies around the globe have been hard at work innovating and refining magnet-free electric motors to make them a more viable option for the fast-growing EV industry. ZF Friedrichshafen has ...

Did you know GM invented the domestic, affordable permanent magnet? Before this neodymium-iron-boron magnet came along in 1984, electric motors, generators, audio speakers, hard-disk drives, and the ...

China controls about 90% of the entire global supply of rare earth magnets, including their mining and refining. That means that most of the neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium that end up in EV motors ...

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 ...

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 ...
