Patent number: 4528466Abstract: An internal flux-conducting member is axially elongated and is manufactured with at least one radially extending electrical discontinuity, to prevent circumferential eddy currents from flowing therewithin in paths which are circular as viewed along its axis. The member may be a single unitary element into which elongated slots are cut, or may be assembled of a plurality of like rods which, when assembled together, have abutting surfaces which form the electrical discontinuities. The rods may be joined together by a nonconductive metal-bonding agent.An external flux-conducting member is disclosed in which at least two like curved frame elements which are made of ferromagnetic material are connected together so as to form a hollow, open-ended frame with an axially elongated and generally cylindrical shape. The frame thus formed contains a plurality of annular magnet rings which are all radially magnetized, with adjacent magnet rings being magnetized in opposite direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1980Date of Patent: July 9, 1985Assignee: Papst Motoren KGInventors: Johann von der Heide, Georg Papst
