Linear motor with two magnets and a coil carrier having multiple winding areas with each area having a section of a coil wound with one continuous wire, or separate coils respectively wound around each area with all coils wound in the same direction

摘要

A linear motor includes an assembly of two magnets separated by a non-magnetic spacer wherein the assembly is coaxially affixed inside of a housing, which results in an air gap therebetween. The magnets are positioned to have a same direction of magnetization. A first embodiment of the motor includes a coil carrier having a single electrical coil of two sections wound in the same direction and positioned into the corresponding two winding areas of the carrier. The coil carrier is movably positioned into the air gap and further to surround the assembly, thereby moving along an axial direction of the motor. A second embodiment includes two coils that wound in a same direction with the respective separated wires and positioned into the respective two winding areas of the coil carrier.
