Patent ID: 8853894

Claim:
A cylindrical linear motor, comprising: a cylindrical rotor having eight poles, and a cylindrical stator comprising a winding having 36 coaxial toroidal coils of equal size forming a first basic winding and extending in a circumferential direction of the stator, with the toroidal coils arranged axially one behind the other, said stator having an axial connector channel, wherein each toroidal coil has a left-hand terminal and a right-hand terminal located in the connector channel, with the left-hand terminals being connected to the right-hand terminals as follows: A ( n* 3+1) L to A ( n* 3+6) R, with the left-hand terminals being connected to the right-hand terminals AiR as follows: A ( n* 3+3) L to A ( n* 3+5) L , and with the right-hand terminals being connected to the right-hand terminals as follows: A ( n* 3+2) R to A ( n* 3+4) R, wherein A(i)L indicates the i-th left-hand terminal, A(i)R indicates the i-th right-hand terminal, and n=0 . . . 10 for all terminals, and wherein the terminals A 2 L, A 1 L, and A 3 R are each connected to a corresponding phase of a three-phase system, and the terminals A 34 L, A 36 L, and A 35 R are connected together at a star point.
