Abstract

A linear motor system that can extend the stroke of a linear motor, with power saving and at a low cost, is provided.In a linear motor system, constituted by a linear motor 100, a controller 7 for supplying a variable voltage, a winding switching device 6, for opening and closing phase windings 5 of individual phases that form a plurality of winding groups 4 that are separated in a stroke direction, the winding switching device 6 is constituted by a three-phase rectifying member, a semiconductor switch, which is located at both ends on the direct-current output side of the three-phase rectifying member, and a resistor and a capacitor, connected in parallel to the semiconductor switch. For each of the phase windings, which form the plurality of winding groups 4, separated in the stroke direction, one end is connected to the output end of the controller 7 and the other end is connected to an alternating-current input side of the three-phase rectifying member of the winding switching device 6. And by opening or closing the semiconductor switch included in the winding switching device 6, of the plurality of winding groups 4 separated in the stroke direction, only a desired winding grou…
