An electromagnetic actuator for a valve stem comprising a stator core having concentratedly wound coils around salient poles and the stator is positioned outside of a tubular member made of a nonmagnetic material. The electromagnetic actuator for a valve stem also has a rotor provided inside the tubular member for driving a threaded operating shaft such that it operats an objective member reciprocally an electromagnetic actuator for a valve stem is further constructed such that permanent magnets, alternately magnetized into a number of pole-pairs, are arranged along the surface of each salient pole of the stator core at a constant pitch, while a number of induction teeth are formed along the circumference of the rotor at a pitch equal to the pitch of the pole-pairs of the permanent magnets. The difference between the total number of the induction teeth and the total number of the polepairs of the permanent magnets is made equal to an even number. The rotor is rotated and the operating shaft is driven when an electromagnetic actuator for a valve stem operates as a pulse motor by alternating excitation of the coils.

EIEC tromagnetic actuator for valve stem

A motor-operated valve is constructed such that a stator is provided outside of a nonmagnetic tubular member allowing flow of a fluid, with stator coils wound around a plurality of magnetic poles, and a plurality of permanent magnets are secured to an operating surface of each magnetic pole. The permanent magnets are magnetized into a number of pole-pairs arranged at a constant pitch. A rotor is rotatably supported inside of the tubular member. A number of induction teeth are formed along the circumference of the rotor at a pitch equal to the pitch of the pole-pairs of the permanent magnets, and the total number of the induction teeth is so selected that it is different from the total number of the pole-pairs of the permenant magnets by an amount equal to an even number. A mechanism including a rotation-preventing means is also provided in the rotor for converting the rotating movement of the rotor into a linear movement of a valve member.
