  • Patent number: 10234263
    Abstract: A non-contact angle/torque sensor comprises an upper rotor in an annular shape having a central axis, and in which magnets are located, the magnets positioned within the annular shape around the central axis with the north and the south poles of adjacent magnets being oriented opposite to one another, and a lower rotor in an annular shape and sharing the central axis of the upper rotor, and located spaced outwardly from an outer circumferential surface of the upper rotor. The lower rotor has upper and lower stators spaced apart along the central axis. The upper stator has upper and lower backplanes and a series of upper and lower extensions extending from the respective backplanes. The upper extensions and the lower extensions are not intermeshed or overlapped.

  • Patent number: 10044240
    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a three phase motor in which a structure for preventing an electrical short circuit is applied includes a stator including a base portion having a hollow formed therein and a plurality of winding portions extending from the base portion toward the hollow and formed apart a predetermined distance from each other; a rotor having a plurality of magnets inserted therein and disposed in the hollow apart from ends of the winding portions; and an insulation sheet disposed between the winding portions abutting each other to prevent an electrical short circuit among the coils wound around the winding portions abutting each other.

  • Patent number: 8726742
    Abstract: A torque sensing system having a torque sensor, and a steering system, are provided. The torque sensor includes a first rotor having apertures extending therethrough and bar magnets disposed in the apertures. The torque sensor further includes a second rotor defining an interior region with the first rotor being disposed in the interior region. The second rotor has tooth members extending toward the first rotor. The torque sensor further includes first and second Hall effect sensors disposed in an open region of the second rotor proximate to the first rotor. The first and second Hall effect sensors generate first and second signals, respectively, indicative of an amount of torque applied between the first rotor and the second rotor.
