Abstract
Abstract A linear induction motor formed of an elongated, stationary rotor core surrounded by stationary, concentric stator coils, with an elongated tubular rotor arranged between the coils and rotor core and surrounding the rotor core, for endwise axial movement upon energization of the coils. The coils may be formed of spaced-apart rolls of conductive tape arranged end to end in axial alignment and secured to a stator core.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
A linear induction motor especially adapted for long stroke applications, comprising: a stationary elongated rotor core made of a material of high magnetic permeability; rotor core positioning means for maintaining said rotor core in a fixed axial position relative to the motor; a stationary hollow cylindrical stator member made of a material of high magnetic permeability and positioned to concentrically surround and axially overlap said rotor core and radially spaced therefrom; a plurality of energizable coils concentrically surrounding said rotor core and mounted on said stator member; and an axially movable relatively light weight rotor tube made of an electrically conductive material and concentrically mounted in the radial space between said rotor core and said stator member, said rotor tube being supported and guided for axial movement relative to said rotor core and said stator member by bearings, said rotor tube being substantially longer than said rotor core and said stator member so as to be capable of achieving a long axial stroke upon energization of said coils while maintaining a full axial overlap with said rotor core and said stator member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
182 words
