  • Patent number: 8587172
    Abstract: A sensor fastening method and a sensor fastening frame for use therewith are provided. The sensor fastening frame is coupled to a motor stator of a brushless motor having distributed coils and extends over the distributed coils to allow the sensor fastening frame to rotate about the axle of a motor rotor, without interference with the distributed coils. At least a sensor is fastened in position to the sensor fastening frame proximate to one end of the axle of the motor stator for positioning the sensor to detect magnetic field variations of the motor rotor.

  • Patent number: 8508091
    Abstract: An end cover adapted to engage with an end surface of a spindle of a motor rotor is proposed for securely coupling to the spindle with a plurality of permanent magnets disposed around the peripheral wall of the spindle. The end cover has a first surface facing an end surface of the spindle and an second surface opposing to the first surface, which is formed with a plurality of inserting slots indentedly disposed around the rim thereof and corresponding to the permanent magnets for coupling the ends of the permanent magnets, thereby securely fastening each of the permanent magnets to the spindle of the motor rotor. Further, the present invention further provides a motor rotor having the end covers described above.

  • Publication number: 20120025655
    Abstract: A motor rotor includes an annular body and a magnetic body installed on an inner lateral surface of the annular body. The magnetic body has a first curved surface and a second curved surface opposing the first curved surface. The magnetic body props against the inner lateral surface of the annular body via the first curved surface. The first curved surface has a first curvature less than a second curvature of the second curved surface. Because the magnetic body of the motor rotor has an uneven thickness, and an air gap interval formed between the motor rotor and the stator also has an uneven width, forces applied to a region where the magnetic forces change directions are smooth. Therefore, the vibration of the whole motor is reduced, and the noises are suppressed effectively.
