  • Publication number: 20170328451
    Abstract: Disclosed is an actuator capable of imparting a linear, rotary, or combined roto-linear force. In one embodiment, the actuator has a rotor and a stator, each having helical grooves with a thrust ball occupying the grooves. A nose piece is situated at the end of the actuator and can be attached to other equipment. The actuator is electrically controlled and can be used in applications requiring high forces or other specialized environments.

  • Patent number: 9467009
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved electric machine which, when operating in motor mode, produces rotational torque without using alternating magnetic polarity, but rather magnetic axial flux that utilizes coils arranged in a dipolar manner around an axial plane. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the use of energy is significantly enhanced therein by injecting the energy harvested from the collapsing fields of electromagnetic drive components, and then directing said energy from said primary-drive coils of the machine into an isolated circuit which is thereafter introduced as a transient secondary process to power secondary-drive coils of the machine in order to increase the overall efficiency of the machine.

  • Patent number: 9190949
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method for improving the use of energy in an electric motor by inducing currents generated from magnets and/or electromagnets that result in an increase of primary power and creating, directing and introducing a counter current obtained from primary coils of the motor into a resonant LC circuit which is introduced as a transient secondary process to increase the overall efficiency of the motor. Furthermore, the motor produces rotational torque without using alternating magnetic polarity, but rather magnetic compression that utilizes permanent magnets arranged in a dipolar manner around an axial plane and, in another embodiment, uses ferrous cores arranged in a dipolar manner around an axial plane or alternatively, electromagnetic dipoles arranged in a dipolar manner around an axial plane.
