Abstract

A rotary and linear motor having a rotor, a casing and a plurality of stator coils mounted to the interior of the casing spaced from the rotor and radially spaced apart around the rotor. A rotary and linear motor control circuit is operative to receive input data signals and to process these data signals so as to produce a plurality of pulse width modulated output control signals. A multi-phase inverter circuit is coupled to an output of the rotary and linear motor control circuit and is responsive to the plurality of output control signals to drive the stator coils and produce a desired z-axis displacement, z, and rotor angular displacement, &thgr;.
