Motor with electromagnetic piston for applications in industrial machinery as loading and unloading large boats or heavy vehicles

Proposal reference:TOES20210929002

A Spanish university has developed an electric motor whose piston surrounds a coil. The motor has a mobile and fixed piston, connected to a power source, which induces a magnetic field generating attractive and repulsive movements, with sufficient force for applications in industrial machinery as loading and unloading, large boats or heavy vehicles.The entity is looking for partners from companies related to electric motors interested in licensing this technology.


Electric motors have been widely studied over the years, however, researchers from a Spanish university have managed to develop an innovative system to achieve an electric motor with a high torque for applications in industrial machinery as loading and unloading, large boats or heavy vehicles. The piston is composed of a partially hollow cylinder of ferromagnetic material that encapsulates a coil inside which, at the same time, contains a solid cylinder of the same material at its center. The motor contains two pistons, at least one mobile and / or one fixed, each one with means to receive and send control signals, which by inducing a magnetic field in each piston, generates attractive and repulsive movements. Movement control is carried out by connecting and disconnecting the current supplied to each piston to produce a change in polarity depending on the separation between the pistons and their state of movement. To know this, the system uses a series of sensors that indicate the position in order, through a control system, to be able to modify the polarity and achieve the linear movement of attraction and repulsion. The entity is looking for partners from companies related to electric motors interested in licensing this patented technology.
