Patent number: 6927507Abstract: A stepping motor being a motor used in oil includes a coil formed with a conductor coated with an outer coating and wound around a bobbin, and coil terminals electrically connected to the conductor at ends thereof led out from the coil, the outer coating being removed from the conductor at the ends thereof. The coil terminals are coated with a protective film made of a material having low permeability to elemental sulfur and sulfur compounds. Therefore, coil terminals and ends of the conductor are prevented from erosion by sulfur and organic sulfur compounds, thereby reducing risk of disconnection in the coil terminals and the conductor.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2001Date of Patent: August 9, 2005Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naoya Hashimoto, Teruo Miyaoku, Shiro Hasegawa, Chiaki Sugano, Hiromasa Ozawa, Hirohisa Ohta

Patent number: 6163239Abstract: The present invention provides a compact duty-driven solenoid valve which inhibits occurrence of impact sound upon driving and prevents occurrence of adherence at low temperatures. In this duty-driven solenoid valve, a plunger is arranged in a center hole of a bobbin having a coil wound thereon, and a guide made of a magnetic material is arranged on one end side of the bobbin, opposite to the plunger. A spring is provided so as to impart a force to move the plunger toward the guide, and further, a valve assembly for switching over a channel for a control fluid is arranged opposite to the plunger with the guide in between. A rod for transmitting a moving force of the plunger to the valve assembly is arranged so as to be inserted through the guide and to reach the valve assembly. The positional relationship between the rod and the valve assembly is configured to maintain a prescribed gap between the plunger and the guide during feeding of current to the coil.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2000Date of Patent: December 19, 2000Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiromasa Ozawa, Takao Kojima, Hidekazu Himei

Patent number: 5269192Abstract: A strain detector to be attached to the shafts of devices such as engines, motors, electromagnetic clutches. First and second magnetic layers are disposed on the driven shaft so as to change permeability with a mechanical strain in the shaft. First and second detecting coils are wound around the first and second magnetic layers so as to be in a noncontact state therewith. Detecting means detects outputs of the detecting coils corresponding to the change in permeability. Furthermore, the driven shaft includes a heat conductive means with conductivity which is high enough to allow a temperature of each of said magnetic layers to be uniform. The outputs of the first and second detecting coils are detected in synchronism with both positive and negative drive timings of the AC drive circuit for applying an AC voltage to each of the detecting coils and smoothed and amplified thereafter, thereby allowing two strain detection outputs to be produced.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 1991Date of Patent: December 14, 1993Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki K.K.Inventors: Yoshihiko Utsui, Hiromasa Ozawa, Hiroshi Sato
