  • Galvanometer drive with zero-backlash mounting
    Patent number: 12191749
    Abstract: A galvanometer drive with a rotor that is rotatable about an axis of rotation and includes a magnet, and a stator unit that surrounds the rotor and includes a coil, the rotor being supported by two bearings, at least one of which is a floating bearing, such that the rotor can perform a rotational movement relative to the stator unit about the axis of rotation. A radial movement limiting device is adapted to limit the radial movement of the floating bearing with respect to the stator unit.
    Type: Grant
