Abstract: Known conductor lanes which can be set into the grooves of linear motors or disk armatures, do not sufficiently occupy the space available in the grooves and winding overhang in multiphase machines, and thus increase the volume and weight of the machines. For high power and force densities, the conductor lanes should allow the available space to be fully occupied. The number of the different conductor lane designs should be minimized in order to reduce production costs. According to the invention, the conductor lanes (13-16) which are prefabricated in a single piece are being led past each other in the overlapping zones in the direction of the groove depth, so that the conductor cross-section is variably adapted to the available space. By using pairs of conductor lanes (13, 14) without loops and mutually offset by one pole pitch in a groove, a high utilization of the space available in the winding overhangs and short conductor lengths are achieved.
Abstract: A brush adapted to effect contact between an elastic metallic support and an electrical track which presents insulating parts and conducting parts. Said brush takes a form similar to that of a tip of a ball-point pen, with a metallic contact ball which is crimped in a metallic receiving shaft.
