Abstract

Abstract A linear motor of which is mover and its stator have magnetic teeth and is arranged such that the mover can move linearly on the stator while maintaining a constant gap with respect to the stator. The motor has a permanent magnet which is long in the longitudinal direction of the stator and two cores which are stacked perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the stator with said permanent magnet between them. A plurality of coils, each of which is wound over the two cores and the permanent magnet and has a magnetization axis which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the stator. Each of the two cores has n groups (wherein n is an integer) of magnetic teeth facing the stator and each of the n group of magnetic teeth is arranged such that the pitch of a tooth is constant and is the same as that of the magnetic teeth of the stator but the phases of the magnetic teeth of each group are different from each other.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 195 words
A linear motor comprising: a stator along which many magnetic teeth are formed with a constant pitch; a mover which faces said stator across a narrow gap and has the same magnetic teeth as that of the stator; and a mover guiding means which guides the mover smoothly along the stator while maintaining said narrow gap; wherein the mover comprises: a permanent magnet which is long in the longitudinal direction of the stator; two cores which are stacked perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the stator with said permanent magnet between them; and a plurality of coils, each of which is wound over said two cores and said permanent magnet and has a magnetization axis which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the stator, wherein each of said two cores has n groups (wherein n is an integer) of magnetic teeth facing the stator, and wherein in each of said n groups of magnet teeth, the pitch of a tooth is constant and is the same as that of the magnetic teeth of the stator, but wherein in each core, the phases of the magnetic teeth of each group are different from each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 195 words
A linear motor comprising: a stator along which many magnetic teeth are formed with a constant pitch; a mover which faces said stator across a narrow gap and has the same magnetic teeth as that of the stator; and a mover guiding means which guides the mover smoothly along the stator while maintaining said narrow gap; wherein the mover comprises: a permanent magnet which is long in the longitudinal direction of the stator; two cores which are stacked perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the stator with said permanent magnet between them; and a plurality of coils, each of which is wound over said two cores and said permanent magnet and has a magnetization axis which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the stator, wherein each of said two cores has n groups (wherein n is an integer) of magnetic teeth facing the stator, and wherein in each of said n groups of magnet teeth, the pitch of a tooth is constant and is the same as that of the magnetic teeth of the stator, but wherein in each core, the phases of the magnetic teeth of each group are different from each other.
