Abstract
A rotor for a planar drive system comprises a housing and at least one magnet arrangement. The housing comprises a basic housing body and a cover. The magnet arrangement is arranged in a recess of the basic housing body. The cover is attached to the basic housing body in such a way that the housing is configured to be fluid-tight, the cover covers the recess, and the magnet arrangement is arranged in an interior of the fluid-tight housing.
Claims26
A rotor having:
- a housing, and
- at least one magnet arrangement;
- the housing comprising a basic housing body and a cover, and
- the magnet arrangement being arranged in a recess of the basic housing body;
- wherein the cover is attached to the basic housing body in such a way that the housing is configured to be fluid-tight, the cover covers the recess and the magnet arrangement is arranged in an interior of the fluid-tight housing;
- wherein the basic housing body and the cover have a metallic configuration, and
- wherein the cover and the basic housing body are laser-welded, wherein a laser-welded joint is circumferentially arranged between the basic housing body and the cover in an edge region of the housing.
A rotor comprising:
- a housing, and
- at least one magnet arrangement;
- the housing comprising a basic housing body and a cover, and
- the at least one magnet arrangement being arranged in a recess of the basic housing body;
- wherein the cover is attached to the basic housing body such that the housing is configured to be fluid-tight, wherein the cover covers the recess and the at least one magnet arrangement is arranged in an interior of the fluid-tight housing;
- and
- wherein the basic housing body and the cover comprise a plastic, and wherein the cover and the basic housing body are laser-welded.
A rotor comprising:
- a housing, and
- at least one magnet arrangement;
- the housing comprising a basic housing body and a cover, and
- the at least one magnet arrangement being arranged in a recess of the basic housing body;
- wherein the cover is attached to the basic housing body such that the housing is configured to be fluid-tight, wherein the cover covers the recess and the at least one magnet arrangement is arranged in an interior of the fluid-tight housing;
- and
- wherein the interior of the fluid-tight housing is at least partially evacuated.
A rotor having:
- a housing, and
- at least one magnet arrangement;
- the housing comprising a basic housing body and a cover, and
- the at least one magnet arrangement being arranged in a recess of the basic housing body;
- wherein the cover is attached to the basic housing body such that the housing is configured to be fluid-tight, wherein the cover covers the recess and the at least one magnet arrangement is arranged in an interior of the fluid-tight housing;
- and
- wherein the interior of the fluid-tight housing is at least partially filled with a casting compound.
A planar drive system having:
- at least one stator module;
- wherein the stator module comprises at least one stator assembly with at least one coil arrangement,
- wherein the coil arrangement is energizable and is arranged to generate a stator magnetic field above a stator surface due to an energization,
- wherein the planar drive system further comprises a rotor,
- wherein the rotor is movable above the stator surface via of an interaction between the stator magnetic field and a rotor magnetic field of the magnet arrangement,
- wherein the planar drive system further comprises a separating device,
- wherein the separating device is arranged above the stator surface, and
- wherein the stator module is arranged on a first side of the separating device and the rotor is arranged on a second side of the separating device;
- and
- wherein the separating device is part of an operating housing, the rotor being movable within the operating housing.
A planar drive system comprising:
- a rotor, the rotor comprising a basic housing body with a recess,
- at least one magnet arrangement being arranged in the recess, and
- a cover adapted to the basic housing body in such a way that a housing is formed by the basic housing body and the cover,
- the housing being configured to be fluid-tight, and a magnet arrangement arranged in an interior of the fluid-tight housing;
- wherein the rotor is disposed in a vacuum during attachment of the cover or the rotor is heated to more than 100 degrees Celsius prior to and/or during attachment of the cover, such that the interior of the fluid-tight housing is substantially free of water.
