  • Patent number: 11277050
    Abstract: An electric motor, especially for a fluid-handling system, comprises an external stator and an internal rotor mounted to rotate around an axis. The said external stator comprises a multiplicity of ferromagnetic pole pieces disposed around the axis and having winding cores extending substantially radially, an injection-molded plastic structure having a bushing and, molded thereon, winding supports enveloping the winding cores, as well as stator windings received on the winding supports. The bushing comprises a sleeve having a closed inner face extending radially inside the pole pieces and an end piece that closes the sleeve in the end region. The rotor is disposed inside the sleeve and mounted in a bearing disposed in the end piece.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11094442
    Abstract: An electromagnetic linear actuator is provided having a housing having a casing section and an end piece, a coil arrangement having two coils which extend about a common axis, are wound in opposite directions and are offset axially from one another, an armature arrangement mounted displacably in the housing along the axis, and a shaft, which passes through the end piece. A magnet arrangement at the end of the shaft has an axially magnetized permanent magnet and two disc-shaped flux conducting pieces are arranged on a front side. The first coil which faces away from the free end of the shaft has a region with a reduced internal diameter. A core of a magnetically active material is held in the coil. In each end positions of the armature arrangement, at least 50% of the axial length of the magnet arrangement is overlapped by one of the coils.
