Abstract

An electric motor includes a primary part for producing a traveling magnetic field and a secondary part for providing a static magnetic field, wherein the secondary part and the primary part are movable relative to one another under an effect of the travelling magnetic field. The secondary part has a device with a substrate and a conductor track, which track is applied to the substrate, in the form of a layer structure, wherein the conductor track can be supplied with an electric current for the purpose of producing the static magnetic field.

Claims

1. An electric motor having a primary part for generating a traveling magnetic field and a secondary part for providing a static magnetic field, wherein the secondary part and the primary part are movable relative to one another under an effect of the traveling magnetic field, the secondary part comprising:

a substrate;

a conductor track applied to said substrate in a layer structure, and wherein said conductor track can be supplied with an electric current for generating the static magnetic field.

2. The electric motor according to claim 1 wherein said substrate has a flat surface upon which said conductor track is applied.

3. The electric motor according to claim 1 wherein the primary part and the secondary part operate as a linear motor.

4. The electric motor according to claim 1 wherein at least one section of said conductor track is formed as a coil, wherein said coil has at least one winding.

5. The electric motor according to claim 1 wherein said conductor track is formed of conductor track sections which are respectively formed in different layers of said layer structure.

6. The electric motor according to claim 1 wherein a first part of said conductor track is formed at a first surface of the substrate and a second part of said conductor track is formed at a second surface of said substrate, and an electrical connection is provided between said first part and said second part.

7. The electric motor according to claim 1 wherein several serially arranged sections form said conductor track each having a form of a coil, wherein said coils are constructed in such a manner that when a current flows through said conductor track adjacent ones of said coils respectively produce magnetic fields with different polarity.

8. The electric motor according to claim 7 wherein said conductor track generates the static magnetic field at a surface of the secondary part having several regions with a periodic reversal of the polarity of the magnetic field in a direction in which the secondary part is movable relative to the primary part.

9. The electric motor according to claim 1 wherein the primary part includes another conductor track arranged on another substrate and said another conductor track is supplied with an electric current, the current intensity of which varies with time, for generating the traveling magnetic field.

10. The electric motor according to claim 1 wherein the primary part includes several conductor tracks arranged on a substrate and each of said several conductor tracks is supplied with an electric current, the current intensity of which varies with time, for generating the traveling magnetic field.

11. The electric motor according to claim 1 including an air gap, which is bounded by a planar surface of the primary part and a planar surface of the secondary part, is formed between the primary part and the secondary part.

12. The electric motor according to claim 1 wherein said layer structure of the secondary part is fastened to a support formed of a magnetic material, said support being arranged on a side of said layer structure remote from the primary part.

13. An elevator comprising:

an elevator car;
