  • Patent number: 11788529
    Abstract: An example assembly comprises: a main housing; an electric motor disposed in the main housing and comprising a stator fixedly positioned in the main housing, and a rotor positioned within the stator; a hydraulic pump positioned in the main housing and at least partially within the rotor, wherein the hydraulic pump is configured to receive fluid from an inlet port and provide fluid flow to an outlet port, wherein the hydraulic pump comprises a pump shaft rotatably coupled to the rotor of the electric motor; a controller housing coupled to the main housing; and a motor controller comprising one or more circuit boards disposed within the controller housing and configured to generate electric current to drive the electric motor.

  • Publication number: 20050029877
    Abstract: A linear motor is provided which includes members for engaging a magnet rail to prevent bending of the magnet rail. Such members may include a wheel or sliding block, for example. The members exert a force proximate an upper edge of the magnet rail to counter potential bending of the magnet rail during operation of the motor, and thereby avoid substantial variations in the air gaps. Furthermore, an armature yoke is provided which includes at least one partial tooth at one end of the armature yoke for reducing an end effect cogging of the linear motor armature in relation to a magnet rail along which the armature will run. In addition, an armature yoke is provided which includes multiple segments which are held end-to-end via fasteners. Such fasteners may serve as part of the magnetic flux path. A support strip may be provided to reduce bowing.
