Abstract: This motor includes an armature winding (12) equipped with conducting coils (A1 to A4, B1 to B4, C1 to C4) distributed into three phases and into two, lower and upper, layers. The lower coils (A1, A3, C1, C3, B2, B4) alternate with the upper coils (B1, B3, A2, A4, C2, C4). Each phase comprises a pair of diametrally opposed coils arranged in the lower layer and a pair of diametrally opposed coils arranged in the upper layer.

Abstract: A pneumatic human power amplifier module is usable in conjunction with a wide variety of pneumatic actuators and lifting devices to provide a human power amplifier for lifting a load. The module includes an end-effector, an electronic controller and a pneumatic circuit. The end-effector contains a human interface subsection which is grasped by a human operator and a load interface subsection which engages the load to be lifted. A force sensor in the end-effector detects the force imposed by the operator on the end-effector and transmits a signal representing the magnitude of the force to the controller. The controller in turn sends a command to the pneumatic circuit, which controls the flow of air into the associated pneumatic actuator. The actuator drives the lifting device.

Abstract: A multiple phase, multiple pole stator is wound using two coil winding passes per phase. The stator core is indexed in alternate directions between the winding of individual coils of one phase to the next. As a result, the coils of a particular phase are wound using a first stator index direction for the first winding pass and a second stator index direction for the second winding pass. A winding apparatus for such winding has an arbor assembly which includes a tubular shaft having an expandable mandrel at the forward end thereof which is received in the bore of a stator. The mandrel includes a fixed, radially-extending key and at least one pivotal, radially-extending key. The keys are received in slots or keyways provided in the stator bore to lock the stator to the shaft and to rotatably drive the stator during the winding process. An improved combined winding form and lead guide mechanism assembly is also illustrated wherein a lead guide sliding assembly is located in a cavity in the winding form.

Abstract: In order to increase the operational safety and to reduce the rope wear, hoisting/lowering apparatus comprise one or a combination of novel features: an adaptor (3) is provided in order to allow the attachment of accessories (50), preferably by insertion. Possible accessories are e.g. holders having a loop for the attachment of hooks, and single or multiple blocks for the formation of lifting blocks.
