  • Patent number: 7821173
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment of the present invention a bell-armature coil for an electric motor is provided. The bell-armature coil comprises a hollow-cylindrical coil winding which forms a coil opening at one end and is wound from a winding wire. The bell-armature coil further comprises a coil former plate. The coil former plate includes a printed circuit board. Into the coil opening the coil former plate is inserted. The coil winding has conductor ends which are connected to the printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 6076795
    Abstract: In known retaining devices for electric motors, rotationally flexible retaining elements on the order of leaf springs are provided between a receiving housing and the electric motor and serve to decouple noise of the electric motor. The novel retaining device for an electric motor includes retaining elements that extend axially between a receiving housing and the motor housing. These retaining elements enable low-frequency decoupling below the frequencies to be decoupled; on the occurrence of natural resonance when the electric motor is turned on and off or there are shocks from outside, the torsional motion of the retaining elements is limited by stop elements. The retaining device is especially well suited to electric motors of blowers.

  • Patent number: 6028379
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for the vibration-isolating mounting of an electric motor (2) on a support part (6) via an essentially disk-shaped support element (12). The support element (12) has a motor-holding section (24) for connection to the electric motor (2) and a support-holding section (26) for connection to the support part (6), and the two holding sections (24, 26) are connected via elastic, web-like connecting pieces (28). The connecting pieces (28) are designed such that the two holding sections (24, 26) are elastically movable relative to each other three-dimensionally in all directions in space, specifically axially, radially and tangentially, over a certain movement play. The support element (12) has integrated stop means for the three-dimensional limiting of the elastic relative movements of the holding sections (24, 26) and/or an additional mass (110) to influence the vibration behavior.

  • Patent number: 5521447
    Abstract: An electric motor includes a generally tubular housing portion having an outer surface; a plurality of fixedly held support bases spaced circumferentially about the housing portion and being at a radial distance from the outer surface of the housing portion; and a plurality of elastic elements, each being secured to the outer surface of the housing portion and to a separate one of the support bases for supporting the electric motor by the housing portion and for suppressing excitation oscillations generated by the electric motor during operation thereof. The elastic elements together form a suspension system which is tuned to the excitation oscillations of the electric motor such that the natural frequency of the suspension system is less than the excitation frequency of the electric motor.

  • Patent number: 5453651
    Abstract: A drive unit with an electric motor (2) for operating a plurality of adjusting devices and axially displaceable coupling elements, in particular for two adjusting devices for a vehicle seat. An electric motor (2) has a motor shaft (20) consisting of a hollow shaft (21) and an axially displaceable interior shaft (22) received therein in a manner fixed against relative rotation which can be connected on both sides, which can be selectively connected in a manner fixed against relative rotation with associated coupling elements (41, 42) of the adjusting devices by coupling elements (23', 24') on the motor side.

  • Patent number: 5402022
    Abstract: A rotary actuator (1) with magnetically acting restoring element (18), particularly for controlling a throttle cross-section, is intended to be simplified in its structure and the torque variation of the restoring element (18) is to be improved. For this purpose, the restoring element (18) is constructed of ferromagnetic but not permanently magnetic, material and arranged in the area of the permanent magnet segments (10) of the motor actuator (2). Due to the asymmetrical construction of the restoring element (18) with three short arms (22 to 24) and one extended arm (25), the maximum torque generated by the element (18) is reduced and the restoring angle, from which the element (18) returns back into its desired locking position, is increased. The rotary actuator (1) is suitable, in particular, as rotary idling actuator for internal combustion engines.
