摘要:
A propulsion assembly for an endoscope having a section of an elongated tube for entry in a tube of a body cavity is provided. The propulsion assembly includes a shaft sleeve, an endless track device, a support sleeve and a control wire. A first bevel gear is supported on the shaft sleeve, secured to a distal end portion of the control wire, for rotating about a first axis extending in an axial direction of the elongated tube upon rotation of the control wire. A second bevel gear is supported on the shaft sleeve in a rotatable manner about a second axis extending in a transverse direction of the elongated tube, meshed with the first bevel gear, engaged with the endless track device, for moving the endless track device in the axial direction. Preferably, the first bevel gear has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the second bevel gear.

A vacuum robot includes an arm portion on which a work is to be disposed under a reduced pressure environment and a motor portion for rotatably driving the arm portion, the vacuum robot being configured to transfer the work by causing a rotational movement of the arm portion by the motor portion. The motor portion comprises a rotor portion connected to the arm portion, a stator portion disposed at an external periphery of the rotor portion, a housing disposed under an atmospheric pressure environment, and a thin cylindrical can disposed in an electromagnetic gap formed between the rotor portion and the stator portion and secured to the housing so that the stator portion is air-tightly encapsulated in a space formed by the housing and the can. The space is maintained in a depressurized state by a seal.
