  • Patent number: 10385925
    Abstract: The invention relates to a clutch hub. The clutch hub (1) comprises a hub body (2) with an axial passage opening (4) for receiving a shaft (5) and with in each case one face side (3a, 3b) at the two axial ends of the passage opening (4). An internal surface (6) is formed in the passage opening (4), and a flat surface (7a, 7b) annularly surrounding the passage opening (4) is formed on each of the face sides (3a, 3b). The internal surface (6) is covered by an electrical insulation coating (8) in the form of a ceramic coating. The electrical insulation coating (8) also, in continuous fashion, covers a respective annular region (9a, 9b), surrounding the passage opening (4), on the flat surfaces (7a, 7b) and a transition region (10a, 10b) formed between the internal surface (6) and the respective annular region (9a 9b).

  • Publication number: 20190036418
    Abstract: A permanent-magnet synchronous machine includes a stator in which a stator winding is arranged, a rotor which can rotate about a rotation axis and in which permanent magnets are arranged, wherein the rotor is connected to a motor shaft via a connecting device which is formed such that it initially connects the rotor to the motor shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, such that a torque which is generated by the interaction of stator winding and permanent magnet is transmitted to the motor shaft, where the connecting device is further configured automatically break the rotationally fixed connection of the rotor in the event of a short circuit of the stator winding, such that a torque that acts on the motor shaft is no longer transmitted to the rotor.
