  • Patent number: 11808427
    Abstract: An optical system for a motor vehicle headlight, wherein the system includes at least two optical elements, including a light coupling area, a light decoupling area, a lateral surface which delimits the optical element and has an optically effective aperture edge for forming a bright/dark boundary in a far-field light distribution producible with the optical system. The system includes at least two anterior optics, wherein an anterior optic is associated with each optical element. The first anterior optic and first optical element are configured to produce a first far-field light distribution, wherein the second anterior optic and second optical element are configured to produce a second far-field light distribution, which lies below the bright/dark boundary of the first far-field light distribution.

  • Patent number: 10581290
    Abstract: A reluctance armature includes a shaft received in a shaft hole in a torsion-proof manner. At least one carrier body is disposed around the shaft and has radial sides as viewed in a circumferential direction. Part segments are arranged on the radial sides of the carrier body and made of anisotropic soft-magnetic material to thereby establish an armature segment which, as viewed in an axial direction, is disposed between two edge elements and forms a central section.

  • Patent number: 10135309
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9496779
    Abstract: A drive device includes a rotational drive device with a rotating stator and a rotating armature for displacing a shaft in a rotational movement and a linear drive device with a linear stator and a linear armature for displacing a shaft in a linear movement. The rotational drive device and the linear drive device are arranged axially one behind the other, with the rotating armature and the linear armature being connected to a respective shaft section. The shaft sections of the rotating armature and the linear armature are axially aligned and connected to each other in a rotationally fixed manner such that the shaft sections can move axially with respect to each other but they can only rotate together.

  • Patent number: 9343935
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9312732
    Abstract: A rotor includes a shaft and a plurality of permanent magnets which are arranged around the shaft in a circumferential direction for permanent excitation. At least one of the permanent magnets is attached to the shaft by a material joint or formfit. A flux conducting device for conducting a magnetic flux of the permanent magnets has a plurality of separate soft-magnetic flux conducting elements, with each flux conducting element being mounted between two of the permanent magnets and fixed thereto so as to be indirectly held in place on the shaft. At least one of the flux conducting elements has at least one contact area sized to cover an outer edge of one of the permanent magnets in the radial direction.

  • Publication number: 20120025654
    Abstract: A rotor for a permanent magnet synchronous machine includes a basic body defining a center. Permanent magnets are arranged on a circumferential surface of the basic body to thereby form magnetic poles. Each magnetic pole is formed in a circumferential direction by at least two permanent magnets and defined by a pole center and a pole edge, wherein the pole edge is spaced from the center of the basic body at a distance which is smaller than a distance of the pole center to the center of the basic body. Positioned in sections between the pole centers of adjacent pole are filling elements, with a banding securing the filling elements on the permanent magnets in such a way that the rotor has a substantially cylindrical circumferential surface.
