Magnetic brakes have suffered from hysteresis, cogging, and low-power output for over 30 years. And they have lacked linearity, so users had to more than double Magnetic brakes have suffered from ...

Clutches and brakes with an electromagnetic interface offer definite advantages, including accurate engaging and clean releasing. Besides being quick, they also run cooler and cleaner, with the ...

PlacidIndustries' hollow shaft brakes mount easily. Magnetic particle brakes areideal for payout (unwind) tension control, load simulation (for testing motorsand actuators), and soft stops. Slip ...

SG Transmission has launched an ultra-slim, high torque, permanent magnetic brake with a brake field depth of less than 13mm. The design team at the British manufacturer of clutches and brakes, ...

Rogue magnetic fields generated by electrons are thwarting efforts to boost the energies of laser-driven proton beams – according toMotoaki Nakatsutsumi at Osaka University in Japan and an ...

A researcher in Germany has revealed how “millisecond pulsars” – neutron stars with rotational periods ranging from 1–10 ms – slow over time. By exploring how a pulsar behaves when it stops accreting ...

An international research team studied high-energy protons emitted from laser-bombarded solids. Recent studies found that higher laser intensities failed to boost the proton energies as much as ...

Steer-by-wire always requires two motors—a big honker down on the chassis that moves the wheels, and a smaller one up in the cabin that makes the steering wheel feel like it’s connected to the wheels, ...
