The working principal of a Linear Induction Motor (LIM) is very similar to that of a normal<br />

Induction Motor. In a LIM the stator (primary) and the rotor (secondary) are flattened out and,<br />

therefore, instead of producing torque they produce a linear force. If Permanent Magnets are<br />

used in the rotor it becomes a Linear Synchronous Motor.<br />
