MAGNETIC TRACK BASE FOR A STATIONARY PART OF A LINEAR MOTOR

Abstract: a magnetic track base for a stationary part of a linear motor includes a magnetic receiving portion configured to fixedly receive permanent magnets, rail receiving portions configured to fixedly receive rails along both sides of the magnets receiving portion, and an encoder scale support receiving portion configured to fixedly receive an encoder scale support. the encoder scale support receiving portion includes a plurality of decoupled tabs mechanically decoupled from the rest of the magnetic track base and arranged to receive a bottom side of the encoder scale support to prevent, or at least reduce, deformation of the encoder scale support receiving portion that may be caused from the deformation of the rest of the magnetic track base when the track base is subjected to external forces.
