  • Patent number: 4754183
    Abstract: A rotor of T-shaped section lies on the motor shaft. The rotor comprises two external symmetrical collars which comprise radial magnetized permanent magnetic poles. Two identical stator parts, symmetrically arranged in the motor comprise external pole teeth lying external resp. internal of each of one of the collars of the motor. This gives rise to a radial flow of magnetic flux in the external lying, radially magnetized permanent magnetic poles of the rotor which leads to a high torque and efficiency. The construction of the motor is simple. Relatively thin material may be used. Relatively high number of poles are possible due to the fact that the effective poles, of the stator and of the rotor lie at the outside.

  • Patent number: 4532444
    Abstract: A rotational restriction lock is formed as a one-piece restricting element which is resiliently mounted on a rotor shaft and has a hub which is always resiliently driven in rotation by the rotor throughout a small angle, spring arms which transmit the rotary movement, and movable rotation restricting elements to which the rotary movement is transmitted and the ends of which prevent the rotor from rotation in an undesired direction, but allow the rotation of the rotor in a desired direction. Adjustable abutments are provided for selecting a permissible angle of rotation of the hub.

  • Patent number: 4477744
    Abstract: A rotor for a synchronous motor includes a permanent ring magnet which has an inner surface, and a hub which has an outer surface. The hub is provided with a rotor shaft. Each surface is formed with a plurality of teeth. The teeth formed on one surface are shaped so as to be able to engage the teeth formed on the other surface. The engaged teeth form a force-locking connection between the ring magnet and the hub, when the hub is pressed into the ring magnet.

  • Patent number: 4255681
    Abstract: A miniature electric motor having substantially identical stator halves which are connected together by lugs axially interengaging on the circumference of the stator.The lugs of the stator halves resiliently engage in pairs on a common plane between ribs formed on a plastics material ring which is located inside the stator halves and which also forms an outer protective casing for the coils and the rotor parts of the motor. The lugs may be slotted at their free ends to provide resilient shanks.

  • Patent number: 4185214
    Abstract: A miniature synchronous motor having a bell-shaped rotor and a damping body, freely mounted, but non-rotatable on the rotor shaft. The damping body being urged, at least substantially in a radial direction by a spring, the force of which also acts substantially equally for both bearings of the motor so as to reduce noise during operation.

  • Patent number: 4082972
    Abstract: An electric motor, particularly a small synchronous motor, which includes a stator made in two identical portions designed to be joined face-to-face, each portion stamped from sheet metal to form a number of pole teeth as well as members for interconnecting the stator portions and for providing a magnetic return path.
