Small and miniature aircraft, also known as UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), require reliable propulsion systems in order to achieve extended flight times with minimal quantities of fuel. Previously, the only option available for fuel delivery to the engine was a carburetor. The latter, however, is not able to provide an optimum fuel mix for all…
Welding Simulator Slashes Training Costs and Materials
By Kristin Lewotsky, Technical Writer, MICROMO, Clearwater, FL Arc welding processes require good workmanship to produce sound welds. Poor technique such as an overly long distance between the electrode and the work piece (arc length) can make the difference between a smooth, strong weld and a defective one that is prone to failure. Learning the…
Rethinking the Micro Linear Motor
Up until now, linear motors have been designed primarily as flat stage motors complete with cradle and guide – a format that is not necessarily suitable for every application. But a new rotationally symmetrical rotor design together with a rectangular, flange-mountable stator, enables an almost universally applicable fit. The new design is largely driven by…
