I am trying to calculate the power required and resulting force for a linear motor, but I have been unsuccessful in finding the necessary equations.
You have the youtube link? Otherwise, most engineers will associate the term with a 3 phase device.pbhuter said:A tube with wire-wrapping to generate the magnetic fields which act on a magnetized cylinder. I would like to move the cylinder through the magnetized tube.

I am specifically looking at the part where the brass rod is moving.
Are there details of the construction? It appears that the brass tube houses 16 concealed magnets. That (upside-down so we can't see) circuit board houses his electronic circuitry. The two wires going to the coils may be multistrand, so actually 4 or more separate phases/wires.pbhuter said:A tube with wire-wrapping to generate the magnetic fields which act on a magnetized cylinder.

A linear motor equation is a mathematical formula that is used to calculate the amount of power and force needed for a linear motor to function. This equation takes into account factors such as the motor's velocity, acceleration, and the mass of the object being moved.
To solve a linear motor equation, you will need to know the values for all of the variables involved, such as velocity, acceleration, and mass. Then, you can plug these values into the equation and solve for the unknown variable. It is important to use the correct units for each variable to ensure accurate results.
Calculating power and force for a linear motor is important because it allows us to determine if the motor is capable of moving an object at the desired speed and acceleration. It also helps us understand the energy requirements for the motor and can aid in designing more efficient systems.
The units for power in a linear motor equation are typically watts (W) or horsepower (hp). The units for force are usually represented in Newtons (N) or pounds (lb).
Yes, a linear motor equation can be used for any type of linear motor as long as the variables in the equation are appropriate for that specific type of motor. Some linear motor equations may be more complex than others, depending on the type of motor being used.
