  • Patent number: 10468921
    Abstract: A 10-pole 12-slot permanent magnet synchronous motor comprises a plurality of teeth. From among two adjacent teeth around which coils of the same phase are wound adjacent to each other, the rotational direction width of a winding portion of a first tooth placed in front along a rotational direction of a rotor is set narrower than that of a winding portion of a second tooth placed behind along the rotational direction of the rotor. With this configuration, the circumferential length of the coil wound around the first tooth can be shortened with suppressing increase in iron loss in the winding portion of the first tooth.

  • Patent number: 9453352
    Abstract: A reinforcing bar binding machine is provided with a device for detecting a power supply voltage during a binding wire twisting step subjected to the heaviest load and comparing the power supply voltage with a predetermined CPU operation voltage, and a control device for driving a motor in a reverse direction when the voltage has dropped below the predetermined CPU operation voltage. The power supply voltage during operation is monitored, and twisting operation is suspended before the voltage drops below the CPU operation voltage, whereby the binding wire twisting mechanism is returned to the initial position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the binding wire twisting mechanism from being stopped while grasping the binding wire, when the CPU stops.
