Description
The Application of AC Linear Motor Operations, “AEL-ACLA”, has been designed by EDIBON to study how AC linear induction motors (LIM) work.
This application includes all necessary to understand the basic principles of linear motors. On the one hand, it has a variable power supply, which allows to control the voltage to progressively accelerate the machine and analyze voltages and currents. In addition, the application has a system of variation of the air gap, thus influencing the force of magnetic attraction. This force can be measured with the included dynamometer. Also this application has two limit switches to automatically switch the direction of the linear motor.
This application also includes a set of weights to measure the force exerted by the linear motor.
