  • Patent number: 6927507
    Abstract: A stepping motor being a motor used in oil includes a coil formed with a conductor coated with an outer coating and wound around a bobbin, and coil terminals electrically connected to the conductor at ends thereof led out from the coil, the outer coating being removed from the conductor at the ends thereof. The coil terminals are coated with a protective film made of a material having low permeability to elemental sulfur and sulfur compounds. Therefore, coil terminals and ends of the conductor are prevented from erosion by sulfur and organic sulfur compounds, thereby reducing risk of disconnection in the coil terminals and the conductor.

  • Patent number: 6500083
    Abstract: An automatic transmission includes a transmission case containing oil, a transmission structure housed in the transmission case, for varying the ratio of rotational speeds between a driving shaft connected to wheels and an engine shaft connected to an engine, a transmission control valve housed in the transmission case, for controlling the transmission structure, and a motor as a driving source for driving the transmission control valve. The motor includes a cover, a motor body having a coil disposed under the cover and formed with a wound conductor, a shaft rotated by an electrical current applied to the coil, and a converting structure for converting the rotational movement of the shaft into linear movement. The motor is fixed to the transmission case so that the motor body is disposed in air.

  • Patent number: 5138208
    Abstract: A small size electric motor comprises a motor housing having a built-in stator and secured to a supporting member. The motor housing is made of a synthetic resin and has a substantially tubular heat conductive plate embedded in a portion thereof which is attached to the supporting member. The heat conductive plate is made of a metallic material, and its inner peripheral portion is projecting toward the inner side of the housing so that the heat conductive plate is brought into contact with the stator, and its outer peripheral portion is exposed to the surface to which the supporting member is attached so that the heat conductive plate is brought into contact with the supporting member. Therefore, the heat generated by the motor is radiated while transmitted from the stator to the supporting member through the heat conductive plate.
