  • Patent number: 4249114
    Abstract: An electromechanical energy converter comprises a linear induction motor and a switching assembly. The linear induction motor includes an inductor formed of individual transversal laminations with windings and a secondary element. The transversal laminations are provided with slots and the winding of each transversal lamination is a distributed winding having sections connected to the switching assembly which either connects the winding of one transversal lamination to one phase of an a.c. power source and the windings of the subsequent laminations to the other phases thereof or connects the winding of each transversal lamination to all phases of the a.c. power source. This invention permits a longitudinal or transversal movement of the inductor and uniform transversal distribution of a magnetizing force within an air gap between the inductor and secondary element.

  • Patent number: 4241268
    Abstract: A linear induction motor comprises an electrically conductive secondary element of a rectangular cross-section and an inductor. The inductor has laminated U-shaped and E-shaped cores, each carrying a polyphase winding. The laminated cores of each shape make up two respective rows in each of which they are arranged one after another with their bases facing respective faces of the secondary element. The outermost legs of each pair of the E-shaped cores in both rows are disposed between the adjacent U-shaped cores of each row without a gap so that the bases of the E-shaped cores and the bases of the U-shaped cores of the respective rows define non-serrated active areas.
