Abstract: An interior permanent magnet electric motor. A rotor comprising a slot radially spaced from its longitudinal axis of rotation extending parallel to the axis. First and second magnets are positioned in the slot and extend parallel to the axis. A first magnet is positioned between a second magnet and the axis.

Abstract: A resilient isolation member is configured for use with an electric machine having a housing, a stator within the housing, and an end shield. The resilient isolation member includes first and second end portions, a sidewall extending between the first and second end portions, and a lip is disposed along an outer surface of the sidewall. The resilient isolation member is sized for mounting between the end shield and the stator, with the first and second end portions respectively abutting against a first inner portion of the end shield and a portion of the stator and with the lip abutting against a second inner portion of the end shield and a portion of the housing.

Abstract: A rotor for an electric machine has a rotor core with a plurality poles and a method of magnetizing the poles of a rotor. At least one of the poles includes a plurality of cavities spaced radially from one another with each of the cavities having a magnet portion. Each of a plurality of block magnets has substantially the same width and is positioned within one of the magnet portions of the cavities.

Abstract: A stator for an electric machine includes stator teeth with powder coat insulation covering a portion of each tooth. An end cap with a routing element is positioned on one side of the stator. Wire extends around and contacts the powder coat insulation on the stator teeth and is routed via the routing element.

Abstract: A brushless permanent magnet (BPM) electric machine including a segmented stator having interconnected stator segment assemblies defining M stator teeth. Each of said M stator teeth having substantially the same axially facing size and shape. N coil windings are individually wound about the stator teeth. N<M.

Abstract: A compact dynamoelectric machine having a rotor with a length which is less than the length of a corresponding stator core. The rotor is rotatable on a shaft supported by bearings, with at least one of the bearings being positioned longitudinally within the stator core. Two endshields define opposite ends of the machine. One of the endshields is configured for holding electronic components in arrangement integrated with the machine.

Abstract: A brushless permanent magnet electric machine includes a stator assembly having a stator core that defines (12×n) slots and stator teeth having a generally “T”-shaped cross section. Winding wire is wound around the stator teeth, wherein a radially outer edge of the stator teeth define a crowned surface. A rotor includes permanent magnets defining (12±2)n poles, wherein n is an integer greater than zero.
