Abstract: A driven ring assembly for a ring-spinning or ring-twisting machine includes a ring and an electric drive having a stator and a rotor with a magnet. A ring crown is on the ring and a ring traveler is on the ring crown. A connecting portion is between the ring and the rotor. The electric drive includes coil winding strands in the stator that generate a torque and radial forces. An axial degree of freedom and tilting degrees of freedom of the rotor are passively stabilized by reluctance forces and radial degrees of freedom of the rotor are actively stabilized by a control loop controlling current through the coil winding strands.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical machine, in particular an electric drive unit comprising an electric motor and a magnetic gear. In accordance with one embodiment the electrical machine has the following: a housing, a first shaft arranged in the housing, by means of which first shaft a first permanent magnet assembly and a second permanent magnet assembly are rigidly connected, and a stator arranged internally on the housing, which stator together with the first shaft forms the electric motor. The electrical machine also has a tubular machine element with a plurality of ferromagnetic pole shoes, into which the first shaft is at least partially inserted, such that the first shaft is situated coaxially with the tubular machine element and the second permanent magnet assembly is situated within the tubular machine element. The first shaft is mounted at a first end on the tubular machine element by means of a first bearing inside the tubular machine element.

Abstract: A device for supporting a shaft includes: a permanent magnet connected to the shaft: a stator having first and second yokes made of a soft-magnetic material: a first actuator coil on the first yoke; and two or more second actuator coils on the second yoke. The first yoke has an opening into which the shaft is inserted so that an axial air gap is formed between the first yoke and an end face of the shaft, or an element connected thereto. A radial air gap is formed between the first yoke and a circumferential surface of the shaft. A further radial air gap is formed between the circumferential surface of the shaft and the second yoke. The permanent magnet is positioned relative to the first and second yokes such that the permanent magnet generates a magnetic bias flux in both the axial air gap and the further radial air gap.

Abstract: A fan (100) has an electronically commutated drive motor (ECM 52) with a stator (50) connected to a bearing tube (54) and a rotor (22) on a shaft (34). The shaft (34) is journaled in the tube (54) using passive radial magnetic bearings (16, 18) to minimize friction and wear, is axially displaceable with respect to the tube (54), and is drivingly connected to a rotor magnet (44) forming a first magnetic yoke (46). A second magnetic yoke (27) is connected to the shaft (34), and has an inner surface (59) defining a substantially cylindrical air gap (57) through which, during operation, a radial magnetic flux (55?) extends. A plunger coil (64) extends into the air gap (57) and is mechanically connected to the tube (54) so that, upon axial displacement of the plunger coil (64), the position of the shaft (34) with respect to the tube (54) changes.
