  • Patent number: 7154198
    Abstract: In a linear motor having permanent magnets placed on a slider, the slider has slider blocks disposed in such a manner that relative positions between front ends of the slider blocks in a slider moving direction and salient poles of two stators opposing the slider blocks is shifted by approximately 130 to 230 electrical degrees. Because the positions of the frond ends of the slider blocks in the slider moving direction relative to the stator salient poles of SIDE-A are shifted from those of SIDE-B by P/2 corresponding to 180 electrical degrees, thrust ripples occurring on SIDE-A and SIDE-B have a relationship such that they are displaced by P/2. As a result, the thrust ripples of SIDE-A and SIDE-B are canceled, thereby reducing a thrust ripple with P/3 periodicity.

  • Patent number: 7151336
    Abstract: A plurality of projections are provided abutted with an outer circumference of a columnar axis inserted to an inner circumference of a rotor. The projections are provided in the direction of a magnetic pole in the rotor. When the rotor is fixed to the columnar axis, the projection parts are fixed by “plunge-in” and the other rotor inner circumference parts have an uniform clearance to the columnar axis. The clearance is filled with an adhesive agent, thereby fixing the rotor to the columnar axis.

  • Patent number: 6960858
    Abstract: A motor which uses a permanent magnet is provided in which output thrust is improved by increasing a magnetic saturation limit and preventing reduction in magnetic flux and generation of heat is reduced by inhibiting generation of an eddy current in a magnetic pole. An N magnetic pole is formed such that its width increases as the distance from a stator increases on a side of an N pole magnetic yoke and an S magnetic pole is formed such that its width increases as the distance from the stator increases on a side of an S pole magnetic yoke. With this structure, a saturation limit of magnetic flux at an entrance of yoke which is a connection section between the N magnetic pole and the N pole magnetic yoke is increased and motor thrust is improved.
