Patent DE 10 2011 051 020

DC linear actuator

A direct current linear actuator comprising

  • a slider with a movable coil (09);
  • a linear guide made of a non-magnetisable material, on which the slider is guided, with a guide device (06) and a carriage (08) movable thereon for receiving the coil (09);
  • a stator on which a magnetic circuit is formed, having a centre yoke (01) which extends through a cross-sectional area surrounded by the coil (09) of the rotor, two parallel outer yokes (02) which each carry permanent magnets (04) which are arranged diametrically opposite the centre yoke (01);

wherein the linear guide is attached to the central yoke (01) and also extends through the cross-sectional area surrounded by the coil (09), characterised in that the central yoke (01) has a rectangular cross-section, and in that the linear guide is directly coupled to the flat upper side of the central yoke (01).
