Linear Induction Motor Control

Linear motion applications have diverse and often complex control requirements. Applications may require very precise speed or positional control, despite wide variations in vehicle total mass.

The characteristics of typical low speed Linear Induction Motors are considerably different to the characteristics of typical Squirrel Cage Induction Motors (SCIM). These differences must be taken into account when choosing a control system.

Comparison of LIMs and SCIMs

Force are experienced with a wide range of control systems, from simple supply switching to advanced inverter control. Force can also advise on power conditioning equipment to improve system performance and further reduce supply requirements.

Force Engineering can develop control systems to meet the needs of any linear motion application.
