  • Patent number: 10473167
    Abstract: An electromagnetic clutch includes a field core including a coil storage groove, and a rotor including a core storage groove. The coil storage groove is formed by an inner cylindrical portion, an outer cylindrical portion, and a bottom portion. The bottom portion of the field core wholly projects to the outside of the core storage groove. The outer peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical portion and the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylindrical portion include a first transition surface and a second transition surface, respectively, on the bottom portion side. Each of the first transition surface and the second transition surface includes a tilting surface that gradually narrows the groove width of the coil storage groove along with an increase in a distance from the side of the opening of the coil storage groove.

  • Patent number: 10192664
    Abstract: A yoke includes an annular groove in which an exciting coil is stored, and a first through hole formed in the bottom of the annular groove. A terminal housing includes a boss portion fitted in the first through hole and a connecting concave portion located on the opposite side of the annular groove with respect to the boss portion. The boss portion includes a second through hole extending in a direction parallel to the center line of the first through hole. An external connecting terminal is buried in the terminal housing. The external includes a coil extraction hole continuing to the second through hole. The extraction end of the exciting coil is soldered to the terminal in a state in which the extraction end is passed through the second through hole and the coil extraction hole.

  • Patent number: 9631688
    Abstract: An electromagnetic clutch includes a rotation transmission member supported by an input shaft portion via a bearing. The rotation transmission member includes a movement regulating portion having abutment portions that abut against the bearing. The clutch further includes first and second spring members that bias an armature toward a braking member, and a connecting member overlaid on the movement regulating portion. The connecting member has first holes at portions facing the abutment portions, and second holes at portions facing regions between the abutment portions. One-end portions of the first and second spring members are attached to the armature. First fixing members inserted into the first holes fix the other-end portions of the first spring members to the connecting member. Second fixing members inserted into the second holes fix the other-end portions of the second spring members to the connecting member and fix the connecting member to the movement regulating portion.
