Patent number: 4453150Abstract: This induction winding includes a magnetic core formed by a vertical stack of iron disks separated by air gaps. The disks (8) include a plurality of sector-shaped portions (1) each of which is constituted by a succession of magnetic laminations (6), a first part (12,13) of these laminations are all of identical length and a second part (14) are of regularly decreasing length from one lamination to the next.

Patent number: 4430632Abstract: A coupling mechanism is disclosed for coaxially connecting a pair of connectable components, such as a pair of transducer assemblies each having a stator. A coupling ring is carried by one stator and engageable with the other for drawing the stators together axially in response to relative rotation of the coupling ring. First friction mechanism between the stators prevent relative rotation between the stators after the stators are aligned angularly to align the electrical zeros thereof. Second friction mechanism of lesser coefficient of friction between the coupling ring and the one stator permit relative rotation therebetween whereby the stators can be finally coupled by further rotation of the coupling member while the first friction means maintains the stators in zero electrical alignment. Subsequently, locking washers are fastened between the coupling ring and stators to permanently lock the stators in relative aligned position.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 1982Date of Patent: February 7, 1984Assignee: MPC Products CorporationInventor: Richard K.

In a laminated core of the present invention, the transformer core comprises a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet having a higher orientation used for a leg(s) and a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet having a lower orientation used for a yoke(s). The former steel has the B.sub.8 value of generally 1.88 Tesla or higher and preferably 1.89 Tesla or higher. The latter steel has the B.sub.8 value of generally 1.86 Tesla or lower.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1981Date of Patent: December 20, 1983Assignee: Nippon Steel CorporationInventors: Takaaki Yamamoto, Yoshihiro Ohya
