Patent number: 10135309Abstract: A rotor having a number of tangentially magnetized permanent magnets tangentially evenly distributed and arranged both in the center region and in the outer regions in the axial direction is disclosed. Flux-guiding elements between the permanent magnets guide the magnetic fields of the permanent magnets radially toward the center region of the stator. The flux-guiding elements comprise a plurality of sheets stacked on one another in the axial direction. The sheets in the outer regions are smaller than the sheets in the center region. The sheets arranged in the outer regions are surrounded on their radially outside end by a retaining apparatus. Form-fitting elements transmit centrifugal forces acting on the sheets arranged in the center region are transmitted to the sheets arranged in the outer regions.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2013Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Daniel Mader, Rolf Vollmer

Patent number: 9343935Abstract: A rotor of a permanently excited synchronous machine includes a shaft capable of rotating about an axis and a laminated core having an axial layering arrangement defined by planes which are aligned perpendicular to the axis. The laminated core has at least two layers of different geometry. A first layer has a plate with a closed outer contour at least at an outer periphery, and a second layer has plural plate segments. The first and second layers of the laminated core are arranged in an axial direction to form axial pockets in interspaces between the plate segments of the second layer and recesses formed radially within the outer contour of the first layer for receiving permanent magnets. An adhesive is provided in radial gaps formed at least in axial sections of the second layer between adjacent plate segments and the permanent magnets.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Daniel Mader, Rolf Vollmer
