  2. Reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor

    The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a type of reluctance motor. Unlike brushed DC motors , power is delivered to windings in the stator (case) rather than the rotor . This simplifies mechanical design because power does not have to be delivered to the moving rotor, which eliminates the need for a commutator .

  3. Switched reluctance linear motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_linear...

    In 1973, inventors Hi D Chai and Joseph P Pawletko from International Business Machines Corp patent a "Variable reluctance linear stepper motor". Then a linear stepper motor of the variable reluctance type was for serial printer applications. In 1977 J.W. Finch researcher on the Linear Vernier Reluctance Stepper Motor to replace a mechanical ...

  5. Stepper motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor

    A stepper motor A bipolar hybrid stepper motor. Brushed DC motors rotate continuously when DC voltage is applied to their terminals. The stepper motor is known for its property of converting a train of input pulses (typically square waves) into a precisely defined increment in the shaft’s rotational position.

  6. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

    The motor may be attached to the end of the actuator. The drive motor is of typical construction with a solid drive shaft that is geared to the drive nut or drive screw of the actuator. Compact linear actuators use specially designed motors that try to fit the motor and actuator into the smallest possible shape.

  7. Lavet-type stepping motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavet-type_stepping_motor

    Lavet-type stepping motor of a quartz clock. A black rotor sprocket provides the mechanical output. The Lavet-type stepping motor has widespread use as a drive in electro-mechanical clocks [1] and is a special kind of single-phase stepping motor. Both analog and stepped-movement quartz clocks use the Lavet-type stepping motor (see Quartz clock).

  8. Variable reluctance sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_reluctance_sensor

    A variable reluctance sensor (commonly called a VR sensor) is a transducer that measures changes in magnetic reluctance.When combined with basic electronic circuitry, the sensor detects the change in presence or proximity of ferrous objects.

  9. Leadscrew - Wikipedia
