NIMEC linear modules are based on controlled interaction between electromagnets and a powerful permanent magnet, where magnetic energy is efficiently transformed into linear motion. The basic configuration includes two electromagnets positioned at the ends of the active zone, with a cylindrical permanent magnet placed between them. The system operates by applying brief impulses that reverse the polarity of the electromagnets, forcing the permanent magnet to move directionally along a predefined axis.

During this linear motion, a portion of the permanent magnet’s magnetic energy is converted into mechanical work. In each cycle, at least 25% of the full magnetic field potential is effectively utilised — a substantial value given the physical nature of magnetic interaction. This principle enables high energy efficiency with minimal electrical consumption, as the power of the electromagnets does not directly influence the system’s output. Instead, the electromagnets serve only to control the direction of the permanent magnet’s movement.

NIMEC linear modules operate fully within the bounds of physical law, offering consistent performance, long service life, and exceptional controllability. The modules can be built to be extremely compact and virtually silent, making them an ideal solution for precision positioning systems, robotics, automated transport applications, and next-generation energy systems.

The NIMEC linear drive system is designed as a modular architecture based on compact energy cells, within which controlled magnetic interaction is implemented. Each cell includes two electromagnets with 100% copper windings and cores made from high-performance Permendur alloy, known for its exceptional magnetic permeability. Positioned between the electromagnets is a cylindrical permanent magnet made of NdFeB, class N52M — one of the most powerful commercially available magnetic materials today.

Standard industrial energy cells are produced in both cylindrical (600 mm height, 300 mm diameter) and rectangular (300 mm height, 300 mm width, 600 mm length) formats. These dimensions are optimised for efficient energy output and seamless integration into existing industrial systems. For use in drones, robotics, and mobile platforms, cells are custom-designed to meet strict spatial and weight constraints.

Each cell functions as a self-contained module with an integrated control unit and ultracapacitors, delivering precise impulses to the electromagnets. In multi-cell configurations, control electronics and power modules can be grouped externally to maximise compactness and streamline system architecture.

Every cell is securely housed in a casing made from non-magnetic, impact-resistant composite material, providing robust protection against external influences and vibration.

Modern materials make it possible to create flexible cylinders capable of deforming in response to external forces. When the pistons of such cylinders are fitted with powerful permanent magnets, the NIMEC linear module can be adapted to control their movement. This solution is suitable for fluid circulation systems — including biomedical applications — as well as for simulating muscle contractions in robotic and exoskeletal systems, where smooth, natural motion is essential.

In aquatic environments, NIMEC linear impulse modules can be applied in next-generation jet propulsion systems — without blades or rotating components. This approach enables the creation of directed flows with high speed and precision, significantly enhancing the performance of both underwater and surface vehicles. The technology holds particular promise for high-speed platforms such as marine scooters.

For aerial systems, NIMEC’s linear solutions signal the beginning of a new era. With ultra-low energy consumption, high reliability, and no moving mechanical parts subject to wear, these modules enable drones and autonomous flying platforms to achieve extended flight times, reduced weight, and stable operation even under demanding conditions.
