Abstract

The aim of the invention is to provide a linear/rotation drive with an improved transmitter device for detecting the linear and rotational movements. For this purpose, the transmitter device ( 12, 14, 16, 17 ) for detecting the linear movement and/or rotational movement of the secondary part ( 4 ) of the linear drive ( 2 ) configured as an external rotor is at least partially arranged inside the primary part ( 6 ) of the linear drive ( 2 ). In this manner, the transmitter device ( 12, 14, 16, 17 ) is located in a magnetically shielded area. In order to avoid eccentricities in the transmitted device ( 12, 14, 16, 17 ), a journal ( 10 ) of the secondary part ( 4 ) is mounted on a bearing ( 11 ) in the primary part ( 6 ).

Claims (8)

1. A rotary linear drive, comprising:

a linear drive device having a primary part and a secondary part, said secondary part being configured as an external rotor, wherein the secondary part has a hollow journal projecting into an interior of the primary part; and

a transmitter device for detecting a linear movement and/or a rotary movement of the secondary part, said transmitter device having at least one component which is mounted on the hollow journal of the secondary part so that the transmitter device is arranged at least partially in the interior of the primary part.

2. The rotary linear drive of claim 1 , further comprising a stationary sensor pin projecting into the interior of the hollow journal.

3. The rotary linear drive of claim 2 , wherein the transmitter device includes a linear transmitter magnet fitted on a free end of the hollow journal, and a sensor for detecting a linear movement of the linear transmitter magnet in the sensor pin.

4. The rotary linear drive of claim 2 , wherein the transmitter device includes at least one rotary transmitter magnet arranged on a circumference of the hollow journal, and a sensor for detecting a rotary movement of the rotary transmitter magnet at a free end of the sensor pin.

5. The rotary linear drive of claim 1 , wherein the hollow journal is supported in a bore of the primary part.

6. The rotary linear drive of claim 1 , wherein the primary part has a cooling device.
