Abstract:
A table apparatus includes a first driver applying force in a first axis direction to a table, and a second driver applying force in a second axis direction to the table. The first driver includes a first actuator generating power for moving the table in the first axis direction, and a first movable member moving along a first drive axis parallel to the first axis by actuation of the first actuator. The first movable member includes: a first linear bearing moving along the first drive axis; a first rotary bearing disposed around a first rod member fixed to the first linear bearing and rotatable relative to the first rod member; and a second linear bearing connected to the first rotary bearing and guided in the second axis direction by a second guide member fixed to an edge of the table in the first axis direction.
Abstract:
One first drive unit that advances or recedes in the X-direction and that exerts a drive force in the X-direction to a movable table is arranged to exert a drive force to a center position in the Y-direction of one end part in the X-direction of the movable table. Two second drive units that advance or recede in the Y-direction that is perpendicular to the X-direction, and that exert the drive forces in the Y-direction to the movable table are arranged to be point-symmetric with respect to the center of the movable table as the center of symmetry. Plural plane guide bearings are arranged at positions such that the total sum of the moment forces of the respective plane guide bearings is zero on the center axis line in the X-direction of the movable table.
Abstract:
A sealing mechanism functioning as a separator between two spaces having different pressures includes: a housing; a shaft inserted into the housing; an annular sealing member sealing a gap by contacting a radial outer surface of the shaft or a radial outer surface of a rotary portion fixed to the shaft; and a lubricant groove storing a lubricant to be supplied between the annular sealing member and the radial outer surface.
Abstract:
Provided is a motor capable of more reliably preventing dust generated therein from flowing to the outside. A motor includes a stator, a rotor, a rotor housing which rotates along with the rotor, a stator housing which fixes the stator thereto, includes spaces formed with respect to the rotor housing, and overlaps the rotor housing with first gaps interposed therebetween in the entire circumferential direction, annular members which overlap the stator housing with second gaps interposed therebetween in the entire circumferential direction inside the spaces, exhaust holes which suck and discharge air inside the spaces through the second gaps, and exhaust grooves.
Abstract:
A sealing mechanism functioning as a separator between two spaces having different pressures or gases, includes: a housing; a shaft inserted into the housing; and a plurality of annular sealing members sealing a gap by contacting a part of the shaft or a radial outer surface of a rotary portion fixed to the shaft. The respective annular sealing members include materials having different material quality and are disposed at different positions in an axial direction parallel to a center axis of the shaft.
Abstract:
A rotation mechanism includes: a housing; a shaft inserted through a hole provided at the housing; bearings installed at the housing and rotatably supporting the shaft; a rotary member provided at one end portion of the shaft, adapted to be rotated together with the shaft, and having a portion that projects to a radially outer side of the hole and faces the housing with a gap having a predetermined size; and a gas passage adapted to connect the gap to outside of the housing and allow gas contained in a portion of the gap to pass to the outside of the housing.
