  • Patent number: 9543064
    Abstract: An electric machine includes a first magnetic pole with an arrangement of interposed magnetically active layers and magnetically inactive layers, and a second magnetic pole movable relative to the first magnetic pole and spaced from the first magnetic pole by a gap. An electrical conductor operates as a coupling element between an electrical circuit and a magnetic circuit. At an operating time, a common useful magnetic flux for electromechanical energy conversion flows through the magnetic circuit composed of the first magnetic pole, the gap and the second magnetic pole. The magnetically inactive layers have a lower average density than the magnetically active layers. A ratio (k) of the total volume of the magnetically active layers to the combined total volume of the magnetically active and inactive layers fulfills the condition 0.5?k?0.8 A method for producing an electric machine are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9130444
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide pivoting and rotary drives for electric machines with low number of parts economically. Said aim is achieved, by means of a secondary part (4) of circular or arched design. The primary part of the drive has at least two straight primary part segments (1), arranged at a predefined angle to each other in the longitudinal direction thereof to correspond to the shape of the secondary part (4). A pivoting or rotary drive can thus be economically produced with standard linear motor components.

  • Patent number: 8274195
    Abstract: An electrical machine includes a stator coupled to a machine frame and constructed to produce a magnetic field. A rotor which is connected to a shaft magnetically interacts with the stator and is separated there from by an air gap which is arranged such that the magnetic field within the air gap is directed essentially parallel to the shaft axis during operation of the electrical machine. Arranged between the rotor and the stator is an axial bearing which absorbs attraction forces acting between the stator and the rotor in a direction of the shaft axis. An elastic coupling mechanically couples the stator to the machine frame and is made less stiff than the axial bearing with respect to a force acting in the direction of the shaft axis, and constructed such that a force acting on the rotor in the direction of the shaft axis is able to cause the stator to be translated with respect to the machine frame in the direction of the shaft axis.

  • Patent number: 7893569
    Abstract: A linear electric motor including a primary part having a flux guiding element on the end faces of the primary part, a three-phase winding on the primary part that produces a first magnetic field and a permanent magnet on each end face that produces a second magnetic field that is superimposed on the first field to reduce force ripple is disclosed. The primary part has tooth modules and also end-tooth modules. The end-tooth modules have no winding, are located on the end face, and are smaller in volume than and shaped differently from the tooth modules. The primary part is separated from a secondary part by an air gap, and the end-tooth modules are separated from the secondary part by an additional air gap.

  • Patent number: 7863782
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to better adapt the power range of a linear motor to specific applications. For this purpose, the secondary part (2) is subdivided into at least one first (3) and one second section (4) in the direction of travel (15) of the primary part (1). The secondary part (2), in the first section (3), has a different shape than in the second section (4) and/or is produced from a different material. In this manner, different speeds of the primary part (1) can be achieved on the traveled distance independent of the actuation of the primary part. Optionally, cage windings can be inserted in a section of the secondary part so that said secondary part can be used for passive breaking.

  • Patent number: 7859143
    Abstract: The moving parts of an electric motor are intended to be cooled more effectively and in a simple manner. For this purpose, the invention proposes an electric motor with a first motor part (1) and a second motor part, which interacts magnetically with the first motor part (1) and with respect to which the first motor part is capable of moving in two opposite movement directions (A, B). The electric motor is also equipped with a cooling system, which is fitted to the first motor part (1) and which has a cooling medium for cooling at least the first motor part. The cooling medium is moved, exclusively by means of acceleration of the first motor part (1), in one of the two opposite movement directions (A, B) in the cooling system. The movement can be triggered, for example, by the dead weight in an open cooling cycle system or else by means of a piston (23) in a closed cooling cycle system.
