Patent number: 12261503Abstract: A motor comprises a housing having a cylindrical recess for receiving and centering a cylindrical wound stator. The stator has an overmolded electrical connection assembly with connecting tabs extending transversely. The stator, being equipped with the electrical connection assembly, is overmolded with an electrically insulating resin. The housing has a lateral protrusion for connecting with a complementary connection assembly. The housing has, in its rear portion, a first angular wedging means complementary to a second angular wedging means provided at the rear portion of the overmolded electrical connection assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Sonceboz Mechatronics Boncourt SAInventors: Cédric Mellere, Jean-François Place

Publication number: 20250096586Abstract: An adaptive tracking clamp acting as an extra regulation loop that limits excursions, such as at a transition from one regulation loop to another. The adaptive tracking clamp is dynamically positioned relative to the level of the regulation loop in control. In case of fast transient events, the loop that is initially in control will quickly raise the output demand but in a first time get limited by the adaptive tracking clamp level; in a second time the adaptive tracking clamp algorithm incrementally increases the output demand until handing off control to the other regulation loop.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Olivier Stéphane Simon Depuits, Bruno Zurlinden, Thierry Jean-Claude Robert Tellier, Anthony Gabriel Lucien Arzur, Cedric Francois Raphael Blanc
