ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTUATOR

摘要

An electromagnetic actuator (10) includes an actuator rod (14) having a plurality of magnetic assemblies (20A-20F) disposed about a longitudinal axis (18) of the actuator rod (14). Each plurality of magnetic assemblies (20A-20F) develops alternating magnetic flux along the longitudinal axis (18). The electromagnetic actuator further includes a plurality of stator windings (16A-16F) secured to a support structure and disposed about the longitudinal axis (18). Each stator winding (16A-16F) has a pole facing a portion of one of the plurality of magnetic assemblies (20A-20F) and the longitudinal axis (18).
