Abstract
A linear unit for handling equipment of industrial production is proposed, the longitudinally displaceably borne tool support (2 and 19) of which is designed as a gear rack of a linear motor (11 to 18 and 22 to 24) serving for driving the support.
Claims11
A linear unit for handling equipment of industrial production, comprising:
- an electromagnetic linear drive unit including a magnetizable motor stator (17,24) and a motor rotor (2), said motor rotor being formed as a tool support (2), said stator being formed so as to longitudinally and displaceably guide said tool support (2), said tool support being formed as a gear rack having at least a portion composed of a magnetically conductive material.
A linear unit for handling equipment of industrial production comprising an electromagnetic linear drive unit including a magnetizable motor stator (17, 24) and a motor rotor (2), said motor rotor being formed as a tool support (2), said stator being formed so as to longitudinally and displaceably guide said tool support (2), said tool support being formed as a gear rack having at least a portion composed of a magnetically conductive material, said strip having one side with a plurality of longitudinal slots (14) which lie one behind the other in said predetermined direction so as to serve as a magnetic shield for a position indicator.
