Applications of linear motors
In industry and automation applications, because linear motors have their own unique advantages, they are widely used in mechanical equipment and machine tools in mechatronics, such as linear motor-driven punching machines, electromagnetic hammers, screw presses, electromagnetic foil punching machines, die-casting machines and profile rolling tractors. The power source used for reciprocating motion in machining machine tools – linear electromagnetic drives are used in turning, milling, planing, grinding, inserting, sawing, pulling and other machine tools to replace traditional mechanical drives. In the laser machinery, semiconductor manufacturing equipment is also used in the linear motor drive X-Y table. As well as for combined machine automation production machine tool between linear motor drive conveyor line, for molten metal stirrer on float glass production line. Linear motor-driven vacuum circuit breakers for power grids, linear motor ferromagnetic separators for mineral processing. Electromagnetic pumps, liquid metal stirrers for the metallurgical industry. Linear motor-driven electric bobbin, hemp cutting device and various automatic instruments and electric actuators used in the textile industry.
2.Application in transportation industry Linear motor technology is a very important application in magnetic levitation trains, which is a great breakthrough in the development of transportation technology, in addition to linear motor-driven electromagnetic propulsion, linear motor-driven subway, linear motor-driven highway high-speed electric vehicles, etc.
3.Application in material conveying and handling Linear motor has unique advantages in various material conveying and handling, for example: in vertical conveying, there are linear motor elevators and lifts; in plane conveying, there are linear motor driven postal package sorting and conveying lines, luggage sorting and conveying lines, steel production conveying lines, electrical, electronic and mechanical processing lines, food processing lines, pharmaceutical production lines and various Industrial processing lines, assembly lines, testing lines, material handling in shopping malls, hospitals and other occasions, and handling in three-dimensional warehouses and dispatching in three-dimensional automobile depots, etc.
4.Application in civil and construction industry Linear motors are widely used in civil and construction industry, such as: linear motor driven doors and door locks, windows and curtains, beds, dining tables, chairs, etc., up to linear motor driven washing machines, dryers, drying racks, power tools, lifting hands, tightening devices, etc.
- linear motor in the field of computer and office equipment applications in the computer optical drive equipment, input and output devices, such as digital scanners, printers, are used in linear motor drive. In the office equipment such as drawing, pen recorder and other linear motors are also used.
- In the military, medical and other aspects of the current foreign linear motor has been applied to electromagnetic guns, submarines, military simulation facilities, in the satellite and spacecraft also used some linear motor. In the medical equipment has appeared in the linear motor driven artificial heart, blind tactile simulator, as well as in electrotherapy, magnetic therapy massage pounding and other applications of linear motors. The toy industry also makes extensive use of linear motors.
