Latest Patents
One of Robert Hammer's latest patents is a method of fabricating a combined linear-rotary direct drive step motor. This innovative motor features both a rotary section and a linear section housed within a single unit. The design includes a cylindrically shaped variable reluctance linear step motor and a modified hybrid permanent-magnet rotary step motor. A common shaft connects both motor sections, allowing for versatile motion capabilities. The rotary motor's teeth are circumferentially spaced around the stator pole faces and rotor, while the linear portion has teeth that are longitudinally spaced along the stator poles and rotor. The laminated stators and rotors are designed to reduce eddy current losses at high stepping speeds. Additionally, the stator coils for both sections can be energized independently, enabling any combination of rotary or linear motion.
