  • Patent number: 11946341
    Abstract: A hydraulic tool includes a rotor rotatably disposed within a stator. At least an inner portion of the stator and/or at least an outer portion of the rotor is configured to be installed in a drill string in either of two inverted orientations along a longitudinal axis of the hydraulic tool. The rotor is configured to rotate within the stator in either of the two orientations. A method includes disposing a rotor within a cavity defined by a stator, passing a fluid through the stator to rotate the rotor, and reversing the stator or the rotor. A drilling system includes a fluid source, a hydraulic tool, a drive shaft operatively associated with the rotor of the hydraulic tool, and a drill bit operatively associated with the drive shaft.

  • Patent number: 10714298
    Abstract: An X-ray arrangement includes a vacuum vessel, a rotating anode and a rotor of an electrical machine being non-rotatably interconnected rotatably mounted in the vacuum vessel, a stator being disposed in a region of the rotor, externally enclosing the vacuum vessel. The stator includes a laminated core which, viewed orthogonally to the axis of rotation, includes a yoke running around the axis of rotation and from which stator teeth extend onto the axis of rotation. A winding system is disposed in spaces between the stator teeth of the laminated stator core. The winding system includes windings, individual turns of the windings each being configured to respectively engage over a plurality of the stator teeth, and the stator being designed such that when identical phase voltages are applied to the individual phases of the winding system, the individual phases are each respectively configured to produce stray magnetic fields of identical magnitude.

  • Patent number: 9896885
    Abstract: A hydraulic tool includes a stator, a rotor, and a removable coating. At least one of the stator and the rotor comprises a resilient material. The removable coating has a thickness selected to compensate for expected swelling of the resilient material or an expected contraction of a clearance between the rotor and the stator based on thermal expansion. The removable coating is disposed on a surface of at least one of the rotor and the stator, and the removable coating is formulated to be removed during operation of the hydraulic tool. A method of operating a hydraulic tool includes passing a fluid through the hydraulic tool during rotation of the rotor within the stator and removing at least a portion of the removable coating responsive to rotation of the rotor within the stator as a volume of the resilient material increases responsive to contact with the fluid passing through the hydraulic fluid.

  • Patent number: 9171692
    Abstract: An x-ray arrangement includes a vacuum container in, which a rotary anode and a rotor of an electrical machine are disposed. The rotary anode and the rotor have a torque-proof connection to one another and are rotatably supported in the vacuum container, so that the rotary anode and the rotor are rotatable around an axis of rotation. Viewed in a direction of the axis of rotation, a laminated stator core is disposed in an area of the rotor. The area of the rotor, in relation to the axis of rotation, surrounds the vacuum container radially outwards. A stator winding system is disposed in the laminated stator core. The stator winding system has windings embodied as a yoke winding.
