  • Patent number: 8354770
    Abstract: An alternator for motor vehicles, having a rotor, whose poles are developed as claw-poles. In order to improve the design options of the stator of the machine, its multiphase winding is developed as a fractional-slot winding, whereby, in particular with respect to the selection of the number of slots, many additional options are created, by which both the production is made clearly simpler and less costly and, at the same time, the electrical properties are able to be improved.

  • Patent number: 6013967
    Abstract: A synchronous machine, in particular a generator for a vehicle, has an excitation system with a plurality of electrically excited individual poles in a rotor, preferably in form of claw poles excited by at least one common excitation coil, in which for compensation of a magnetic stray flux, in the free spaces between the axially oriented claw poles permanent magnets are inserted at the axial ends of the pole plates of the rotor, so that the permanent magnets are supported by a holder against centrifugal forces and held by it, and therefore an especially simple and inexpensive holder is formed which considerably simplifies and facilitates the insertion of the permanent magnets.
