  • Patent number: 8803393
    Abstract: Disclosed is a stator device adapted to be arranged in an electrical machine, where the electrical machine further includes a moving device, where the stator device is a multi-phase stator device, where the phases are arranged side-by-side in a direction perpendicular to direction of motion of the moving device, and where each phase comprises a first stator core section having a set of teeth, a second stator core section having a set of teeth, and a coil, and where the teeth are arranged to protrude towards the moving device; and wherein at least two neighboring phases share a stator core section, so that the first stator core section of a first phase and a second stator core section of a second phase is formed as a single unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8710711
    Abstract: A permanent magnet machine is provided including a stator and a rotor, the rotor being adapted to rotate relative to the stator, the rotor including a plurality of permanent magnets separated in the circumferential direction from each other by radially extending rotor pole pieces for concentrating the magnetic flux from the permanent magnets, the stator having a structure that defines radial limits of an air gap between the stator and the rotor for communicating magnetic flux between the stator and the rotor, wherein at least some of the permanent magnets extend radially outside the radial limits of the air gap as defined by the stator structure.

  • Patent number: 8354767
    Abstract: A permanent magnet machine is provided comprising a stator and a rotor, the rotor being adapted to rotate relative to the stator, the rotor comprising a plurality of permanent magnets separated in the circumferential direction from each other by axially extending rotor pole pieces for concentrating the magnetic flux from the permanent magnets, the stator having a structure that defines axial limits of an air gap between the stator and the rotor for communicating magnetic flux between the stator and the rotor, wherein that at least some of the permanent magnets extend axially outside the axial limits of the air gap as defined by the stator structure.
