  • Patent number: 7033158
    Abstract: An injection screw is rotationally driven by a rotating motor having a stator and a rotor and can be moved by a number of electrical linear motors, linear motor comprising a primary part, which functions as a stator, and a secondary part, which is linearly movable in the axial direction in a screw cylinder to execute the injection function. The primary parts are assembled to form a first housing-like unit and the secondary parts are assembled to form a second housing-like unit which is coupled to the screw for drive purposes. The rotating motor, fixedly connected to the screw in the axial direction, is arranged with its stator fixedly coupled in the axial direction to the secondary housing-like unit.

  • Publication number: 20040091570
    Abstract: The invention relates to a linear drive device for opening and closing molding tools and for applying a clamping force thereon, especially mold halves of a plastics molding machine. The device is comprised of a screw drive acting upon the molding tool, a first screw nut for opening and closing the molding tools and a piston/cylinder unit for applying a clamping force. In order to provide a linear drive device for opening and closing molding tools, especially mold halves of a plastics molding machine, which enables fast opening and closing of the molding tools and energy-optimized application of the clamping force to the molding tools, the piston/cylinder unit (113) acts upon the molding tool by means of a second screw nut (108).
