Abstract: A stator for an electric motor includes a substantially hollow-cylindrical stator stack provided with wire windings and an end winding, which adjoins the stator stack in the axial direction. The stator stack includes a number of slots, wherein a coolant line is inserted into the respective slot. To improve efficiency of the electric motor, a section of the respective coolant line extends into the region of the end winding.

Abstract: A compact motor which avoids peeling and cracking of the circuit board wiring pattern upon bending the printed circuit board. A projecting part (13), projecting toward the bottom side of the bracket (5), is provided on the back surface (5c) of the bracket (5) of a compact motor. A board insertion groove (S) is formed between the projecting part (13) and the back surface (5c). The flexible printed circuit board (10), inserted inside the board insertion groove (S), abuts the projecting part (13) and is bent facing the back. When the printed circuit board (10) is inserted into the board insertion groove (S) and bent, the printed circuit board (10) is in a state abutting the curved part (13a) of the projecting part (13), so the curved part (13a) of the projecting part (13) regulates bending and, by doing this, stabilizes bending of the flexible printed circuit board (10).

Abstract: In a rotary electric machine, first inclined surfaces that intersect a plane that includes a central axis of a shaft at a predetermined angle are disposed radially outside gaps between coil ends of circumferentially adjacent concentrated winding coils, and cooling air that is blown out from a cooling fan and has flowed radially outward through the gaps between the coil ends is converted into an axially outward flow by the first inclined surfaces.

Abstract: An electric rotating machine includes a rotor, a stator, and a thermistor. The thermistor has a temperature measuring element portion that is fitted in a minute gap defined by connecting portions of segment conductors at a stator coil end. The stator coil end is formed by arranging a plurality of the segment conductors in slots of a stator core to thereby form connecting portions of the segment conductors at the end portion of the stator core. The thermistor is separated from the connecting portions of the segment conductors only by dead air that defines the minute gap.

Abstract: Provided are a motor and a sensing magnet of the motor. The sensing magnet includes a through hole that is positioned at a center portion thereof, and a plurality of poles which are formed along an outer periphery thereof. Here, the plurality of poles includes a first pole and a second pole extending from the first pole in a direction of the through hole.

Abstract: An EAP generator is described, including at least one EAP stack that is disposed between two force-transferring surfaces disposed parallel to one another, having at least one layer, facilitating relative displacement between the end of the EAP stack and the force-transferring surface facing toward that end, in particular a deformable or friction-reducing intermediate layer. A corresponding method for generating electrical energy from elongation energy on a capacitive basis by charge displacement is also described.

A ratio of a wall thickness of either of the first or the second end portions to the motor wall thickness is at least greater than 1.68 to 1.

Abstract: In a controller-integrated electric rotating machine configured to assemble a front side semi-manufactured assembly E formed from an electric rotating machine main body 1 and a front bracket 4 with the rear side semi-manufactured assembly D to which a rear bracket 5, a control unit assembly A, a power unit assembly B, and a brush unit assembly C are integrated, a series of brush restricting pin insertion holes 24 are disposed from a rear side end surface of the control unit assembly through the brush, and therefore assembling workability is improved without failures in assembling work which occur due to breaking away of a brush from a brush holder to the rotary shaft side.

Abstract: A stator for a rotational electrical machine includes a cylindrical stator core and a stator winding. The stator core includes slots arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction. The slots pass through the stator core in an axial direction. The stator winding is obtained by joining together ends of U-shaped conductors inserted through the slots. A second insertion part is located away from a first insertion part in the circumferential direction and is inserted in its corresponding slot. A joining end part is joined to another U-shaped conductor at a joining position away from the insertion part in the circumferential direction. The joining end part includes a first bent part and at least one second bent part. The first bent part is bent near an opening of its corresponding slot. The second bent part is bent between the first bent part and the joining position.

Abstract: A stationary portion of a motor includes resin bodies including an inner resin portion and an outer resin portion. The inner resin portion is between a tooth and a coil and between the tooth and an insulator. The outer resin portion covers circumferentially outer sides and axially outer sides of the coil. The inner and outer resin portions are continuous with each other through a connecting resin portion. The insulator includes an opening portion extending along circumferential side surfaces of the tooth. The inner resin portion is in contact with the circumferential side surfaces of the tooth and a conducting wire in the opening portion. Heat generated in the coil is transferred to the tooth through the resin body. A path along which the heat is transferred from the coil to the tooth is secured, and dissipation of heat out of the motor is promoted.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention, an electric machine for use in an environment having moisture is provided. The machine includes a housing that has an inner surface defining a cavity in the housing. The housing defines a leak path exit adapted to remove moisture accumulating within the housing away from the housing. The electric machine further includes a stator secured to the housing and a rotor that is rotatably secured to the housing. The electric machine further includes a moisture guide positioned at least partially within the cavity and adapted to guide at least some of the moisture toward the leak path exit.

Abstract: A magnet plate used for a rotor core of a motor, includes a magnetic pole portion being set between an outer peripheral edge of a body portion and a magnet slot and having a radial width being smaller than a radial sectional width of the permanent magnet, and a higher hardness portion being formed into a hook shape along an end corner of the magnet slot and have a smaller width than the radial sectional width of the permanent magnet.

Abstract: A multi-gap type rotary electric machine is provided, where the machine is provided a shaft supported rotatably by a baring secured to a housing. An annular rotor is secured to the shaft and configured to rotate together with the shaft. Double stators are secured to the housing and configured to have gaps between the stators and the rotor. Relationships of: 3.5<P13/P6 ??(1) and P7/P6>0.5 ??(2) are met, where P6 denotes a circumferential width of each of outer salient poles, P7 denotes a circumferential width of each of inner salient poles, and P13 denotes a circumferential width of each of the outer magnets.
