Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a linear motor which includes a stator and a mover. The stator extends along a first axis. The mover is arranged so as to extend along the first axis and radially face the stator. The mover has a pole interval along the first axis different from that of the stator. At least one of the stator and the mover has a plurality of permanent magnets arranged in alignment with each other along the first axis, and a plurality of yoke parts arranged in alignment with each other along the first axis. The permanent magnets are provided, for each pole, in a continuous range along the first axis. The permanent magnets are polar anisotropic magnets that are magnetized from both end portions along the first axis to a radial end portion at a center along the first axis, or magnetized in the reverse directions to these.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A linear motor comprising: a stator extending along a first axis; and a mover arranged so as to extend along the first axis and radially face the stator, the mover having a pole interval along the first axis different from that of the stator, wherein: at least one of the stator and the mover has a plurality of permanent magnets arranged in alignment with each other along the first axis, and a plurality of yoke parts arranged in alignment with each other along the first axis; the permanent magnets are provided, for each pole, in a continuous range along the first axis; and the permanent magnets are polar anisotropic magnets that are magnetized from both end portions along the first axis to a radial end portion at a center along the first axis, or magnetized in the reverse directions to these. 2 . The linear motor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein: for each pole, there is provided only one of the permanent magnets. 3 . The linear motor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein: the permanent magnets, which are the polar anisotropic magnets, are provided in both the stator and the mover. 4 . The linear motor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein: the mover has a shaft part extending along the first axis; and the shaft part and the yoke parts are integrally formed into a single-piece part. 5 . The linear motor as set forth in claim 4 , wherein: the permanent magnets, which are the polar anisotropic magnets arranged between the yoke parts, are formed as bonded magnets. 6 . The linear motor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein: the mover has a shaft part extending along the first axis; and the shaft part and the yoke parts are formed as separate parts from each other.
