  • Patent number: 10209483
    Abstract: An objective arrangement includes an outer holder, and optical elements held therein, in an inner holder. A rotor is configured as a cylinder element forming a circumferential groove, having permanent-magnet elements disposed on at least one inner wall surface. A stator consists of a cylindrical coil, which inserted into the groove, locally fixed in the axial direction, for an electromagnetic interaction with the magnet elements, coaxially to the axis of rotation of a curved support. The curved support is arranged separate from the outer holder and the inner holder.

  • Publication number: 20160291286
    Abstract: An objective (1) having an outer holder (2) and optical elements (3) held therein, in an inner holder (30), wherein the inner holder (30) is linearly guided in the outer holder (2) and mounted so as to be axially displaceable in a curved support (14), and the curved support (14) can be driven by an electric motor, is characterized in that a hollow-shaft drive (5) is present as the drive for the curved support (14), which drive consists of a rotor (9) connected with the curved support (14) and a stator (6) connected with the outer holder (2), wherein the rotor (9) is configured as a cylinder element (11) forming a circumferential groove (10), having permanent-magnet elements (13, 13?, 13?) disposed on at least one inner wall surface (12), and the stator (6) consists of a cylindrical coil (7), which is inserted into the groove (10), locally fixed in the axial direction, for an electromagnetic interaction with the magnet elements (13, 13?, 13?), coaxially to the axis of rotation of the curved support (10).
