CONTACTLESS LINEAR ACTUATOR COMPRISING A FLEXIBLE GUIDING MEANS AND APPLICATION THEREOF TO A DISPLACEMENT TABLE

摘要

The invention relates to a linear actuator including an electromagnetic motor (2) consisting of a stationary element (3) and an element (4) that is movable relative to said stationary element (3). The electromagnetic motor (2) is a direct drive motor without contact between the stationary element (3) and the movable element (4). Said linear actuator is characterized in that the movable element (4) is guided by a flexible guide means (9) that is placed between the stationary element (3) and the movable element (4).
