Abstract: A monodirectional impeller for centrifugal electric pumps having a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, having vanes which are deformable at least along part of their extension so as to change their curvature, when loaded, in one direction of rotation, so that the power required for rotation in that direction is greater than the maximum power that can be delivered by the motor.

Abstract: An anticondensation device particularly for electric motors, comprising a box-like body that contains the stator windings inside which the enclosure for a rotor is arranged hermetically, a cover to be fixed over the bottom of the box-like body, spaced therefrom, to define an interspace and a perimetric air passage gap. The bottom has through holes, and corresponding first collars protrude perimetrically to the holes toward the cover and enter with play second collars that protrude from the cover toward the bottom. An air passage pathway is formed between the first and second collars. The box-like body is arranged in functional configuration with its bottom substantially vertical.

Abstract: An electronic device for starting and controlling a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, including logic control means, at least one switch arranged in series between an external power source and a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, and sensor means suitable to determine the polarity and position of the rotor of the motor. The logic control means are suitable to send a driving signal to the at least one switch as a function of a position signal that arrives from the sensor means and of a synchronization signal that arrives from the external power source. The logic control means include processing and filtering means that are suitable to determine a phase shift of the position signal as a function of the rotation rate of the rotor and of the specific application.

Abstract: A permanent-magnet electric motor for circulation pumps of heating systems, comprising a stator (10) composed of a pack of metallic laminations (11) which form pole shoes (12) to which electrical windings (14) are coupled. A permanent-magnet rotor is arranged in a chamber which is separated with a watertight seal from the stator (10). The chamber that contains the rotor has a cross-section which is shaped so as to duplicate the contour of the pole shoes (12) in regions affected by the pole shoes (12) and so as to form wider portions in regions that are not affected by the pole shoes (12).

Abstract: A stator for synchronous motors with more than two poles, comprising a plurality of sectors formed by lamination packs which are joined at their ends, forming as a whole a closed annular structure, at least one pole shoe protruding from each one of the sectors. The ends of the stator define, at each connecting region, thanks to respective facing shaped portions, at least one tab with mutually opposite undercuts, one for each end; the tabs accommodate corresponding portions of an elastic connecting element which surrounds the tab and rigidly couples the sectors.

Abstract: A device for transmitting motion between the rotor of a synchronous permanent-magnet motor and the working part, having an increased free rotation angle, which comprises at least two motion transmission couplings which mutually cooperate in a kinematic series. Each coupling is constituted by at least one driving element which is eccentric with respect to the rotation axis and is rigidly coupled to a first component of the motion transmission system and by at least one driven element, which is also eccentric with respect to the rotation axis and is rigidly coupled to the component arranged kinematically after the preceding one. The angle covered by the elements of each coupling is, as a whole, less than a round angle. The intermediate components of the kinematic transmission have both a driven element and a driving element for receiving the motion from the preceding one and transmitting it to a subsequent one.

Abstract: An electric motor with a permanent-magnet rotor having a viscous coupling to the shaft. In its electric part, the motor can be likened to a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, in which the rotor is mounted freely on the shaft and is contained in a hermetic casing which is rigidly coupled to the shaft and contains a liquid which fills the gap between the rotor and the container. The rotor therefore drives the casing only by virtue of the presence of the interposed liquid, so that the load is not rigidly connected to the shaft and the resulting operation of the motor can be likened to that of an asynchronous motor allowing mutually different rotation rates of the shaft and of the rotating field.

Abstract: A direction-dependent driving coupling between the rotor of a permanent-magnet synchronous motor and a working part. The coupling comprises at least one first eccentric driving tooth and at least one cantilevered elastomeric element which are rigidly coupled to a first one of the two components between which motion is to be transmitted; the cantilevered element is arranged peripherally close to a cylindrical wall, of which it partially follows the shape, and the wall is formed by a housing, in which the rotor is arranged, and is motionless, at start-up, with respect to the motorized component.
