Abstract
A magnet assembly for a linear motor, the magnet assembly including one or more permanent magnets, a mounting plate having a mounting portion that is configured for arranging and mounting the one or more permanent magnets along a direction of elongation of the mounting plate, and at least one elongate member that extends at least partially through the mounting plate between a first end and second end thereof, the at least one elongate member extending at least partially through the or each magnet for fixing the or each magnet with respect to the mounting plate.
Claims19
A magnet assembly for a linear motor, the magnet assembly including:
- (a) one or more permanent magnets;
- (b) a mounting plate comprising a mounting portion that is configured for arranging and mounting the one or more permanent magnets along a direction of elongation of the mounting plate;
- and
- (c) at least one elongate member that extends at least partially through the mounting plate between a first end and a second end thereof, the at least one elongate member extending at least partially through the one or more permanent magnets for fixing the one or more permanent magnets with respect to the mounting plate,
- wherein the one or more permanent magnets includes grooved portions in opposing end walls thereof, and
- the mounting plate includes complementary recessed portions formed in opposing side walls of the mounting plate,
- wherein the respective grooved and recessed portions cooperate, in use, to define a channel for receiving the at least one elongate member therein.
A mounting plate for holding a row of permanent magnets for use in a linear motor, the mounting plate including:
- a rectangular body comprising a mounting portion that is configured for arranging and mounting the row of permanent magnets along a direction of elongation of the mounting plat,
- wherein, in use, the mounting plate is adapted to receive at least one elongate member that extends at least partially through the mounting plate between a first end and a second end thereof, the at least one elongate member extending at least partially through the row of magnets for fixing the row of magnets with respect to the mounting plat,
- wherein the one or more permanent magnets includes grooved portions in opposing end walls thereof, and
- the mounting plate includes complementary recessed portions formed in opposing side walls of the mounting plate,
- wherein the respective grooved and recessed portions cooperate, in use, to define a channel for receiving the at least one elongate member therein.
