  • Publication number: 20100171375
    Abstract: A protected magnetic displacement device comprises a mover, a stator, a first protecting sheet and a second protecting sheet. The mover is provided with a magnetically sensitive portion, and the stator is provided with two loading portions each having plural magnets. The two loading portions are oppositely located to form a space therebetween for insertion of the magnetically sensitive portion of the mover. The first protecting sheet is located on one of the loading portions, and the second protecting sheet is located on the other of the loading portions. The magnetically sensitive portion of the mover is isolated inside the space of the stator by the first protecting sheet and the second shied cover, so that the surrounding metal objects can be prevented from being attracted into the stator since the leakage of the electromagnetic interference is avoided, thus making the mover move along the stator stably.
