  • End plate for rotors of switched reluctance motors
    Patent number: 10381887
    Abstract: An end plate for a rotor of a switched reluctance motor is disclosed. The end plate includes an annular body and a plurality of ribs. The annular body has a first axial end, a second axial end, and a thickness. Further, the annular body defines an outer surface and a bore configured to receive a shaft of the rotor. The plurality of ribs extends radially outwardly from the outer surface. The plurality of ribs is adapted to respectively abut with a plurality of poles of the rotor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 7, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 13, 2019
    Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.
    Inventors: Josh Dorothy, Corey Allen Kauk, Richard Geist Auch, Carlos Eduardo Nino-Baron, Rodwan T Adra
