  • Patent number: 8671865
    Abstract: A bridle line control winch for a deflector for marine towing, with fore and aft double or triple bridle lines to attachment points in upper, possible middle, and lower parts of the deflector, preferably in horizontal plate frames, wherein at least said fore or aft bridle lines are arranged to be adjusted inwardly and outwardly so as for adjusting an attack angle of said deflector relative to a course line. The bridle line control winch is provided with a pivotally arranged control winch frame arranged between said bridle lines' attachment points to the deflector, and the bridle lines themselves. The control winch frame is provided with a winch sheave with an asymmetrically arranged pulley arranged on said winch sheave for holding an eyelet or end of said bridle line. The winch sheave is arranged to be driven by an actuator in a desired direction of rotation.

  • Patent number: 8110958
    Abstract: An electric motor has a rotor, a stator encompassing the rotor, at least one bearing bracket, and a rotor cover. The rotor cover has at least one cover cap extending from the bearing bracket to at least the front face of the stator, which faces the bearing bracket. The invention also relates to a rotor cover for an inner rotor motor, having at least one cover cap and cover fins adjoining the cover cap. The cover cap has a tapering portion from the side where the cover fins are mounted. The cover fins have a length corresponding to at least half of the length of the stator of the electric motor.

  • Publication number: 20080252160
    Abstract: A connecting plate for an electric motor has at least one receptacle area with at least one receptacle opening for one or more sensors for monitoring the rotor position. Furthermore, an electric motor which has such a connecting plate is described. With the novel device it is possible to simplify the manufacture of the electric motor, and in particular to minimize the length of the connecting lines to the sensors by integrating the sensor holder into the connecting plate.
