Design Investigation of a Linear Motor for Artificial Heart Driving

摘要

The authors have been considering the use of a linear pulse motor (LPM) as a driving sources of a totally implant- able artificial heart (TAH), and have developed a series of artificial heart models that incorporate such a motor. The newly developed linear-type TAH (linear TAH) has two blood pumps, which are inflated and deflated alternately by the LPM, causing a pusher plate to pulsate the blood. This paper deals with the performance calculation of The LPM using the loading ratio.
