Linear Electric Actuators and Generators

Linear electric actuators (LEAs) and linear electric generators (LEGs) are widely used electromagnetic devices. Examples range from loudspeakers and microphones to magnetically levitated material transfer in ultraclean rooms. This book presents the first unified treatment of the subject, including the construction, operation, control, and design of LEAs and LEGs. Chapters describe linear induction, permanent-magnet, linear reluctance, switched reluctance, and linear stepper actuators, as well as various types of linear electric generators. The text is amply lustrated with numerous design examples.Boldea, I. is the author of 'Linear Electric Actuators and Generators' with ISBN 9780521020329 and ISBN 0521020328.
