Design of a permanent magnet linear motor for oil palm cutter

The mechanization technique has been proven to increase agricultural productivity. The mechanization technique is applied not only at the end of product processing stage, but it is also involved in the early stage of agricultural activity, such as planting, harvesting, weeding, and etc. In Malaysia,...
