linear induction motor

linear induction motor
Elect., Railroads.
an electric motor in which a movable part moves in a straight line, with power being supplied by a varying magnetic field set up by a fixed part of the system, as a metal rail on the ground.
Also, linear-induction motor. Also called linear motor. Cf. induction motor.
[1965-70]
