  • Publication number: 20080179142
    Abstract: A torque motor type elevator comprises a torque motor, a ball screw, a sliding nut and an elevator car. The torque motor serves to drive the load screw of the ball screw directly, so the elevator car fixed to the load nut is moved up and down. The ball screw of the present invention is provided for reducing the loss of energy of the elevator driving system, and the sliding nut is disposed on the ball screw to improve its safety. The torque motor can be added with a resolver or an encoder to control the position precisely. Such arrangements can prevent the problem of energy consumption and can simplify the structure.

  • Publication number: 20040195211
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electrical discharge machine (EDM) with double-axis double-speed linear motor mechanism for fast machining operation. In this EDM the tool fixture assembly is driven by a linear motor, whiles the work piece platform assembly is driven by another linear motor in the opposite direction. Applying no contact direct drive, such as linear motors, eliminates wear problem in ballscrews in conventional embodiments and enhances availability of the machine. Opposite and double motors drive configuration not only increases relative speed between the tool electrode and the work piece, but also stabilize the speedy jump operation by canceling reaction force of tool electrode movement.

  • Patent number: 6717294
    Abstract: The high-speed linear motor disclosed herein comprises a stationary part and a moving part. The stationary part is composed of conjoined upper and lower primary structures. Each primary structure consists of at least two field magnet modules. The moving secondary part then lies between the two primary structures by a non-wearing bearing so that it can move with high efficiency and no friction loss. A position sensor is provided for precisely positioning a work piece and there is no worry about interruption of feed back signal because there is no wire connection at the moving part.

  • Publication number: 20040027007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a linear motor mechanism that has two axles, a tool-axle and a work-piece-axle, and the two axles parallel to each other. When one of said two axes moves, the other axle moves in the against direction. The tools set up on the tool-axle and the work pieces set up on the work-piece-axle, so between the tool and work piece of the present invention can has double relative velocity and acceleration to the prior art. Since between the tool and work piece the relative velocity and acceleration is good, the mechanism can reduce the working time. And, the mechanism will improve the mechanical characteristic of mechanism.
