Abstract: A conveying apparatus of the type including a plurality of driving means disposed in the spaced relation along a track so as to allow a carriage to move on the track under the influence of inertia with the aid of propulsive force or reverse propulsive force which is generated by the plural driving means. The track has at least a curve and another driving means is disposed at the position upstream of the curve as seen in the direction of transportation of the carriage. To assure that the carriage moves along the curve at a proper moving speed a desired speed is so determined that centrifugal force exerted on the carriage is maintained at a level equal to or lower than a predetermined value. Speed controlling is effected in such a manner that the carriage is decelerated or accelerated from the moving speed detected at the time before it enters the curve to the desired speed by means of the last-mentioned driving means.

Abstract: To eliminate armature or rotor reaction or leakage flux (leakage reactance) in an electric rotating machine, a short-circuit coil winding is wound on and through the rotor or an armature core of the machine. The short-circuit coil winding is wound at a right angle to the main coil to exclude any intervention. Due to placement of a non-magnetic material in the armature core, the leakage flux which flows in the non-magnetic material is reduced and the flux of the stator and the rotor flows separately along both sides to the inner part of the armature or rotor ring core. Due to the non-magnetic material, the flux which occurs due to the current of the transformer m.m.f. of this short-circuit ring coil extends substantially into the airgap, therefore to abate the effect of armature reaction flux in the airgap.

Abstract: Using a smooth laminated armature assembly, with a ferromagnetic double-helix stator shaft, provides an economical radial pole linear reluctance motor requiring no external armature bearings. The stator shaft has a double-helical screw tooth pattern cut into its surface. Spaces between screw threads are preferably filled with low permeability material. The armature assembly has radial pole laminar plates, separated by identically configured laminar spacers, separated by an insulating layer, which provides eddy current isolation, physical stability and original adjustment of laminations for overall accuracy to linear positioning, despite tolerances in the individual laminar plates. Each laminar plate has a number of inwardly projecting teeth centered about the internal channel. These internal teeth and the double helix screw teeth on the stator shaft provide flux paths through the stator.

Abstract: A stepping motor with toothed stator poles and toothed rotor poles is magnetically enhanced by locating permanently magnetized inserts in the spaces between the stator teeth and magnetizing the inserts transverse to the direction of movement of the rotor and substantially transverse to the direction in which the teeth extend. In a hybrid motor with a split and axially magnetized rotor the inserts are magnetized to oppose the magnetization of the rotor. In a variable reluctance motor with an unmagnetized rotor inserts are placed in both rotor and stator and magnetized to aid each other. Linear motors use either configuration.
