Compressor efficiency might not sound like the most exciting topic in the world, but consider this: the hotter the world gets – and the wealthier its developing countries become – the more air ...

Linear motors generate force only in the direction of travel. A linear motor applies thrust directly to a load, and does not require any intermediate mechanism to convert rotary motion into linear ...

Linear motion is central to many moving machines, and the direct-drive nature of linear motors can simplify overall machine design in these applications. Other benefits include improved stiffness, ...

Years ago, we used to enjoy watching diehard ARB-equipped off-road enthusiasts stubbornly (and slowly) fill up their tires using their own ARB on-board air compressors—even when another air source was ...
