Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of linear motors, and particularly relates to an axial moving linear motor with an encoder built therein. Background Art

[0002] A linear motor is a device that works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Through the coupling between the alternating magnetic field generated by the energized coil and the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet, relative movement is generated between the primary and secondary of the motor. During the control process of the linear motor, an encoder and a driver are required. The function of the encoder is to detect the movement position of the motor and transmit the data to the driver connected thereto. The driver understands the motor state based on the data feedback of the motor and controls the movement of the motor. Currently, the main types of encoders on the market are magnetic gratings, optical gratings, and Hall encoders. When using the above types of encoders, they generally need to be fixed outside the motor. Magnetic grating and optical grating encoders also require the configuration of magnetic gratings and optical gratings, which not only occupy a large amount of space but also limit the use scenarios. When designing automated equipment using a linear motor, in addition to considering the size and stroke of the motor itself, the installation position of the encoder must also be considered, which increases the difficulty of using the linear motor.
