  • Electromechanical actuator to reduce heating effects
    Patent number: 9712034
    Abstract: The application describes an electromechanical actuator for generating a mechanical force to be transferred to an apparatus. The electromechanical actuator comprises an electromagnetic coil, a connecting member, and a magnet. The connecting member is mechanically coupled between the electromagnetic coil and the apparatus and is configured to transfer the mechanical force from the electromagnetic coil to the apparatus. The magnet is disposed between the electromagnetic coil and the apparatus and includes a channel in which the electromagnetic coil is disposed, the channel having a channel opening that faces away from the apparatus, the magnet further having a central hole through which the connecting member extends.
