Disclosed herein is a swing-arm type linear d.c. brushless motor, wherein at least one coreless type armature coil such as an air-core armature coil is arranged on the inner wall of a linear motor body and a field magnet is formed by magnetizing a magnet member with a single pair of N/S poles so as to permit the generation of thrust in a predetermined direction face to face with only one active conductor of said at least one armature coil and which does not contribute to the generation of reverse thrust. The field magnet is opposite through an air-gap in the axial direction to only the active conductor portion, and is supported relatively and swingably through the air-gap. It is suitable for use in small, economical and high-speed magnetic head positioner mechanisms more useful in small-capacity magnetic disk units and the like and capable of performing position detecting, feed control, etc.
A method for producing a monolithic, seamless, polymeric housing structure for a micromachine uses a stereolithographic method to produce the structure layer by layer by exposing sequentially formed films of photopolymer to a beam of electromagnetic radiation scanned over patterns of locations corresponding to at least partially superimposed layers of the housing structure. The housing structure may include openings through which movable elements such as shafts and linkages may extend, and may provide sealed passage for electrical conductors therethrough from the micromachine to the exterior of the housing structure. Complex housing structures including closed or almost closed chambers and interior partition walls as well as interior passages of complex configuration may be formed to accommodate individual components or component assemblies. The micromachine may be assembled during fabrication of the housing structure, and preformed components or assemblies placed into the partially formed housing structure and the housing structure subsequently completed.
A disk spindle motor having a permanent magnet central shaft. A pair of annular, non-magnetic combination thrust and journal bearings having truncated-conical outer surfaces are spaced apart on the shaft. The bearings coact with complementary surfaces of the hub of a motor rotor. Shaft end caps connect the shaft to base means and have radially extending shoulders which define annular gaps with the rotor and function as ferrofluidic seals.
To provide a reciprocation motor capable to detect rotation angle of rotor accurately. Rotor 1 is a magnet having two poles to radial direction and comprises half-cylindrical magnets. Driving coils 5a and 5b are bound equally at coil board 3. Magnetic sensor 7 is fixed at outside and under side of driving coil 5b on coil board 3. Such a construction makes magnetic sensor hard to be influenced by flux generating caused by current flowing through driving coil 5b. Therefore, it is possible to improve position detecting accuracy of rotor 1.
A plurality of motors are assembled. A plurality of part-sized stators are provided. Each of the part-sized stators is a split portion of a full-sized stator which has been previously split. The full-sized stator includes a printed circuit board with a plurality of coils. Each part-sized stator is inserted into a respective motor.
The invention relates to an electrical apparatus having an actuator including at least two permanent magnets (1, 1a) and at least one electrical coil (2) which is movably supported by means of a swing arm (3), which coil is arranged to be traversed by magnetic fields of the permanent magnets (1, 1a), the actuator having a cage (4), which encloses the coil (2) and the permanent magnets (1, 1a), as a closed magnetic return path.
