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 the input signal to double the output ...

Many web tensioning processes and other converting applications require smooth and adjustable torque while maintaining a clean and dust-free environment. For these processes, magnetic particle ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

More deadly than carbon emissions are brake particle emissions, but Stellantis wants to end this by bringing back drum brakes, albeit with a magnetic twist. China’s EV Market Is Imploding Brian Daboll ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental ...

I recently had to delve into the brakes on a trailer and was quite surprised at how they work. With all of the advances in technology, it’s a wonder that this method still exists as the majority of ...
