Abstract: An improved rotor construction of a cylindrical linear motor capable of more correctly adjusting locations of the core groups and coils of the rotor and correctly affixing the core groups and the coils thereof using support plates which includes a plurality of core groups, disposed at a predetermined angle from each other and each having a plurality of teeth and a plurality of grooves formed therein; a plurality of disk type coils respectively inserted into the grooves; support plates disposed between the core groups; a first motor cover affixed at one end of the core groups and a second motor cover affixed at the other end of the core groups.

Abstract: A rail brake apparatus for a linear motor elevator includes mating magnetic cores with coils and spring, brake arms connected with magnetic cores and pivotally engaged with a shaft, linings disposed at both ends of the brake arms for braking a guide rail, thereby reducing the weight of the magnetic units, balancing both magnets in its weight, and obtaining the same pulling force in both magnetic cores. In addition, it further includes a gap maintaining apparatus for maintaining a predetermined gap the upper and the lower magnetic cores, thereby reducing an impact noise occurred during pulling each other and preventing friction due to the slip of the lining, so that the car of the elevator can precisely stop at a desired location.

Abstract: An air gap adjusting apparatus for a cylindrical linear motor of an elevator includes a cylindrical upper plate having an internally threaded portion at an inner edge thereof and fixedly mounted on the upper portion of the rotor, a plurality of adjusting units pivotably mounted on the plate member, for adjusting an air gap between an inner surface of the rotor and the outer surface of the stator, and an inverted cone-shaped hollow tapered guide member having a threaded lower portion engaging the plate member and displacing the plurality of adjusting units for thereby adjusting an air gap between an inner surface of the rotor and the outer surface of the stator.
