  • Publication number: 20080211326
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an inner rotor type permanent magnet excited transverse flux motor, in which a laminated structure in an axial direction or in a radial shape is applied to a stator iron core so as to employ a small amount of permanent magnets compared with a conventional outer rotor type permanent magnet excited transverse flux motor, thus providing high output power, increasing the efficiency of power generation, and reducing noise and vibration.

  • Patent number: 7166938
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a horizontal and vertical transportation system using permanent magnet excited transverse flux linear motors which is capable of linearly transporting an object in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction using permanent magnet excited transverse flux linear motors, thereby obtaining a simple structure of the system and preventing any occurrence of dust generated by abrasion between the parts of the system. The system comprises a horizontal transportation unit and a vertical transportation unit. The horizontal transportation unit is adapted for transporting the object in the horizontal direction by means of a thrust from a permanent magnet excited transverse flux horizontal linear motor. The vertical transportation unit is installed on the horizontal transportation unit. The vertical transportation unit is adapted for transporting the object in the vertical direction by means of thrusts from permanent magnet excited transverse flux vertical linear motors.

  • Patent number: 6864608
    Abstract: Disclosed is a brushless generator with permanent magnets, which provides high-speed operation, simple maintenance, lightweight, and stable power. The brushless generator with permanent magnets including a main generator with a stator and a rotor; and an auxiliary generator having a stator made of a hollow stator core and a coil wound around the stator core, and a rotor made of a rotor core rotating within the stator core and a coil wound around the rotor core, where wedges and grooves are formed alternatively on the inner portion of the stator core of the auxiliary generator, and permanent magnets are embedded in the body of the grooves and the coil is wound around the body of the grooves. Accordingly, without the use of a brush, a rated load voltage is generated from the permanent magnets of the auxiliary generator, and voltage variations due to load variations are controlled by the windings of the auxiliary generator.
