Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a nonwoven fabric having mechanical strength which is hardly cut and broken by an external force, and a separator for electrochemical devices using the nonwoven fabric. The inventive nonwoven fabric has a sum of tensile strengths by zero-span per basis weight in the machine direction and the cross-machine direction of 6.5N/50 mm or more. Thus, the strength of the constituent fibers of this nonwoven fabric against an external force is high, and this nonwoven fabric has mechanical strength which is hardly cut and broken by an external force. The separator for electrochemical devices of the present invention is composed of this nonwoven fabric.

Abstract: An electric pump unit for a transmission, which supplies a hydraulic pressure to the transmission, includes: a pump which takes in and discharges oil; and a pump driving electric motor including a motor shaft connected to the pump, a motor rotor fixedly provided on the motor shaft, and a motor stator disposed around a circumference of the motor rotor. The pump and the electric motor are integrated with a lid that tightly closes an opening in a recess portion which is formed on a transmission housing of the transmission and into which the oil is introduced, and are accommodated within the recess portion.

Abstract: A motor housing that accommodates a pump-driving electric motor and a controller that controls the electric motor is fixed to a pump body of a pump that sucks and discharges oil. A sealed motor chamber that accommodates the electric motor is formed within the motor housing. A cooling oil is filled in the motor chamber.

Abstract: A rotor of an electric motor is provided in which a permanent magnet holding member can be assuredly fixed to a rotor main body and the rotor main body can be easily worked and inexpensively manufactured. In the rotor, a plurality of permanent magnets 21 are held in a permanent magnet holding member 29 made of a synthetic resin and fixed to an outer peripheral part of a cylindrical rotor main body 28. An outer peripheral surface of the rotor main body 28 is a cylindrical surface. Rotation prevention recessed parts 30 are formed at a plurality of parts in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral part in both end parts of the rotor main body 28. The permanent magnet holding member 29 includes annular parts 31 which come into close contact with the outer peripheral parts of both end faces of the rotor main body 28 and connecting parts 32 which connect both the annular parts 31 on the outer peripheral surface of the rotor main body 28 and hold the permanent magnets 21.

Abstract: An electric pump unit includes: a unit housing; a bearing unit provided within the unit housing; a rotary portion; and a motor stator fixed to the unit housing. The rotary portion includes: a pump driving motor shaft supported by the bearing unit such that an axial position of a center of gravity of the rotary portion falls within an axial range of the bearing unit, and a motor rotor. The motor rotor includes: a disc portion which extends radially outwards from an axial end portion of the motor shaft; and a cylindrical portion which extends from an outer circumferential portion of the disc portion towards the other axial end side and surrounds an outer circumference of the bearing unit.
