What is Linear Motors and its comparison with Stepper Motors

Image
A linear motor is simply an electric motor that uses a linear force mechanism to generate the required power for a particular application. In contrast to rotary electric motors (found in cars, appliances, and commonly used electrical appliances), linear motors generate their energy through strictly linear scientific principles; i.e. There is no torque or rotation to produce an accelerated force through the relationship of an electric current to a magnetic field. Linear motors are used for a variety of purposes, including high-speed rail, military weapons, spacecraft research, robotic technology, medical advancements, and automated engineering systems designed to produce mass quantities of specific products. There are two main types of linear motors: low acceleration and high acceleration. Low speed motors are typically used for applications where durability is preferred over bursts of power or high electromechanical energy. This type of linear motor  is designed for trains, automatic
