M. : Energy, 1974. 136 s. The book deals with the theoretical and experimental study of linear asynchronous motors and electric reciprocating motor drive. Much of the material is devoted to the study of characteristics, start energy and braking of linear asynchronous motors, taking into account and without taking into account electromagnetic transition processes. Methods of automatic control of linear asynchronous motors in the drive of reciprocating motion are considered. Theoretical dependencies necessary for engineering calculations and design of linear asynchronous motors and control system. The book is designed for engineers working in the field of automated electric drive and electric machines, as well as for researchers, graduate students and senior students of the relevant profile .
