  • Patent number: 9356498
    Abstract: A rotary electrical machine comprises a rotor including a plurality of poles and a plurality of windings (E0-E7) wound about the poles, a stator, and a compensation device configured to compensate the armature magnetic reaction of the stator. The compensation device comprises at least one permanent compensation magnet which is implanted in a pole(s) of the rotor. The magnet(s) is/are sized and placed in accord with the desired compensation effect desired.

  • Patent number: 9197118
    Abstract: A machine (1) having a rotor (11) including permanent magnets (PM) and field coils (EC). The magnets are housed in first axial recesses (E1) distributed within a circumferential portion of the magnetic body, thus defining circumferential polar sections. The coils are housed in second axial recesses (E2) distributed within an intermediate portion of the magnetic body and defining pole teeth (RT). The ratio of a width of a pole tooth to a height of a permanent magnet is around 0.65 to around 1.

  • Patent number: 9160218
    Abstract: A machine (1) having a rotor (11) including permanent magnets (PM) and field coils (EC). The magnets are housed in first axial recesses (E1) distributed within a circumferential portion of the magnetic body, thus defining circumferential polar sections. The coils are housed in second axial recesses (E2) distributed within an intermediate portion of the magnetic body. The circumferential polar section includes a third recess (E3), and a portion of the magnetic body forming a bridge having a height of around 0.7 mm to around 2 mm is retained between an apex of the recess and an outer pole face.

  • Patent number: 7528516
    Abstract: In a rotary electrical machine, the stator is subject to eddy currents, causing losses. These losses are reduced by extending the path of the eddy currents whilst avoiding causing saturation. The invention therefore proposes to form recessed zones or slots (2) in the teeth (1) of the stator whose depth does not exceed one-half of the height of the tooth (1).

  • Patent number: 4634889
    Abstract: A device used as an electro-mechanical converter includes a body having a spherical outer surface, a structure peripherally surrounding the spherical body and electromagnetic means spatially located from the body to cause a rotational displacement of the body. The body is connected to a static support and all rotational motions are relative thereto.
