Abstract: A commutator includes six segments disposed in the direction of rotation, and is attached to one axial end of an armature. By the commutator rotating together with the armature, each of the segments successively contacts a brush. Each of the segments is electrically connected with terminals through mid-terminals.

Discharge does not occur between the brush and segments when the brush separates from the segments accompanying rotation of the armature, since electromagnetic energy built up in the coils of the armature is temporarily built up in the capacitors.

Abstract: A multi-layer coil is wound around a bobbin having a center pillar and a small and a large flanges connected to longitudinal ends of the center pillar. A winding space having a trapezoidal cross-section in a plane cut through the center axis of the bobbin is formed outside the center pillar between both flanges. To wind the multi-layer coil in this winding space, a turning position where a layer of the coil moves up to a higher layer is set by a position setter, and the turning position is automatically shifted layer by layer to form a sloped outer surface of the coil. The coil is wound in a shape fitting the trapezoidal winding space without reducing the winding speed. The space factor of the coil in the winding space is improved, making the coil compact in size.

Abstract: An electric motor includes a housing that receives multiple magnets that are circumferentially arranged in the housing. A resilient member has two inserted portions that are respectively inserted into gaps formed among the magnets. For example, four inserted portions of the two resilient members are respectively inserted into four gaps formed among four magnets, so that the inserted portions are resiliently deformed in the gaps. The inserted portions apply force to the magnets such that the magnets are circumferentially spaced from each other. Thus, the four magnets are urged onto an inner wall of the housing by the two resilient members. As a result, movement of the magnets is restricted in both of the circumferential direction and the axial direction of the housing. Therefore, the magnets can be maintained in the housing using a simple structure without increasing the number of components.

Further, a method of manufacturing a rotor comprises steps of arranging coils so that a longitudinal direction of each of the coils is along an axis of the shaft and magnetizing the segmented magnets. Still further, a rotary machine uses the rotor.

Abstract: A commutator includes six segments disposed in the direction of rotation, and is attached to one axial end of an armature. By the commutator rotating together with the armature, each of the segments successively contacts a brush. Each of the segments is electrically connected with terminals through mid-terminals. Three of the six terminals, non-adjacent and alternatingly located in the direction of rotation, are electrically connected directly with mid-terminals facing in radial opposition.

Discharge does not occur between the brush and segments when the brush separates from the segments accompanying rotation of the armature, since electromagnetic energy built up in the coils of the armature is temporarily built up in the capacitors.

Abstract: Two-inner gears are overlapped with each other through a partition wall and are eccentrically arranged at an inner peripheral side of an outer gear, and eccentric directions of both the inner gears are shifted from each other by 180° to the opposite side. By this, loads in an outer diameter direction due to a rise in fuel pressure affect one outer gear from the two inner gears oppositely to each other by 180°, so that an eccentric load is not generated, and sliding resistance of the outer gear to a cylindrical casing becomes small. Further, the number of teeth of the outer gear is made odd, and the number of teeth of the inner gears is made even.

Abstract: A turbine pump includes a casing having an inlet, an outlet and front and rear arc-shaped pump passages and an impeller. The impeller has plural impeller partitions respectively disposed between every two of the blades thereby forming impeller grooves at front and rear sides of the partitions and an outer ring at the peripheral edge of the blades. Each impeller groove, each of pump passage and the outer ring form a space for circulating fuel. The outside diameter of the impeller is smaller than the pump passages so that the impeller does not contact the pump passages.
