An improved drive and support for a machine tool by which a part thereof can be supported and driven along a linear path for machining. The drive and support includes a linear slideway (160) having a magnetic track (172) along which a housing will move when a moving magnetic field is generated in an electromagnetic assembly (170/174) mounted in the housing (150). The direction the housing moves depends upon the direction of movement of the generated magnetic field, and first hydrostatic bearing pads (200) acting between the housing (150) and the slideway (160), or between the electromagnetic assembly (170/174) and the track (170) or any combination thereof, to counteract the attractive force between the electromagnet (170/174) and the track (172).

L'invention concerne un mécanisme d'entraînement et de support amélioré pour une machine-outil qui permet de supporter et d'entraîner une partie de cette dernière, le long d'une trajectoire linéaire en vue de l'usinage. Ce mécanisme d'entraînement et de support comprend une glissière de guidage linéaire présentant un rail magnétique le long duquel un carter se déplace lors de la génération d'un champ magnétique dans un ensemble électromagnétique fixé dans le carter. Le sens de déplacement du carter est fonction de la direction dans laquelle le champ magnétique est généré. Par ailleurs, des premiers patins de paliers hydrostatiques agissent entre le carter et la glissière, ou entre l'ensemble électromagnétique et le rail ou entre toute combinaison de ces éléments, pour s'opposer à la force d'attraction entre l'électro-aimant et le rail.
