Motive device for use in magnetically-sensitive environments

摘要

A motive device for use in magnetically sensitive environments includes a front supporting plate, a rear supporting plate, and at least one guiding rail extending longitudinally between the front and rear supporting plates and supported thereby. At least one module is supported by the guiding rail, is located longitudinally between the front and rear supporting plates, and is configured to provide at least one of translational and rotational motions to a moved structure extending from the at least one module longitudinally toward and beyond the front supporting plate. The translational motion is guided by motion of the module between the front and rear supporting plates longitudinally along the at least one guiding rail. The module provides the at least one of translational and rotational motions to the moved structure entirely pneumatically. The structures comprising the motive device are all made entirely from non-ferromagnetic materials.

1. A motive device for use in magnetically sensitive environments, the motive device comprising:
a front supporting plate; a rear supporting plate; at least one guiding rail extending longitudinally between the front and rear supporting plates and supported thereby; and at least one module supported by direct contact with the at least one guiding rail, the at least one module being located longitudinally between the front and rear supporting plates, and configured to provide both translational and rotational motions to a moved structure extending from the at least one module longitudinally toward and beyond the front supporting plate, the translational motion guided by motion of the at least one module between the front and rear supporting plates longitudinally along the at least one guiding rail, translational motion of the moved structure being guided by concurrent and proportional translational motion of the at least one module between front and rear supporting plates which are relatively stationary with respect to the moved structure and the at least one module, the at least one module providing the at least one of translational and rotational motions to the moved structure entirely pneumatically; wherein the motive device is made entirely from non-ferromagnetic materials.
