Linear disc motor

Equipment

The image describes a linear disc motor that was made by the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras. A linear induction motor is a device which can produce thrust along a straight line without the help of a crank or lever arrangement for converting rotary motion to linear motion. The main applications of such a motor can be seen in the doors of lifts, high-speed ground transportation, low speed belt conveyors and impeller drives without a separate motor.
