Abstract
A variable reluctance linear motor comprising a motor system, that includes a bearing assembly that is incorporated into the motor so as to guarantee that an air gap is maintained between the motor and stator during relative motion there between. The invention further includes means to replace the bearing assembly(s) and winding(s) that can be used with the motor and a method of assembly.
Claims8
A variable reluctance linear motor system comprising:
- a motor having a plurality of bodies;
- a stator;
- and
- a means for controlling a gap between said motor and said stator, wherein said gap remains constant as one of said motor and said stator moves relative to the other.
A variable reluctance linear motor system comprising:
- a first body;
- a second body;
- a stator, operatively positioned between said first and second bodies, for axial relative movement between said stator and said first body and said second body;
- and
- at least one bearing assembly, replaceably attached, between said first body and said second body for maintaining a gap between at least one of said stator and said first body and said stator and said second body.
A method of assembling a variable reluctance linear motor system, said method comprising:
- providing a first body;
- providing a second body;
- providing a stator, positioned between said first body and said second body for linear slideable relative movement between said stator and said first and second bodies;
- and
- replaceably attaching a bearing surface to maintain a gap between both said stator and said first body and said stator and said second body.
A bearing assembly for use in a variable reluctance linear motor system having a first body, a second body, and a stator, wherein said bearing assembly comprises:
- a bearing surface, replaceably attachable between said first body and said second body, configured to maintain a gap between both said stator and said first body and said stator and said second body.
A winding for use in a variable reluctance linear motor system having a first body, a second body, and a stator, wherein said winding comprises:
- at least one conductive loop configured for replaceable attachment to one of said first and said second bodies.
