  • Patent number: 11770035
    Abstract: A laminated core for a rotor and/or a stator of a rotating electric machine includes teeth arranged adjacent to one another in a peripheral direction of the laminated core and delimiting slots for accommodating an electrical conductor that forms a winding. A cover unit is arranged on a side of an air gap between the rotor and the stator and delimits the slots in the radial direction. The cover unit has in a region of a respective one of the slots at least two tapering regions which are spaced apart from one another in the peripheral direction of the laminated core, with a material of the cover unit being thinner in the tapering regions in a radial direction of the laminated core than in a region of the cover unit adjoining the tapering regions.

  • Patent number: 8063517
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to create a combined linear-rotary drive that has a compact, simple, and inexpensive design. Said aim is achieved by a combined drive comprising a linear driving device (3) and a rotary driving device (11), at least one of the two driving devices being provided with a hybrid reluctance motor. It is particularly advantageous to embody both driving devices as hybrid reluctance motors such that the rotor (4) can be produced at a low cost without permanent magnets in addition to ensuring that the drive has a very compact design.

  • Publication number: 20100264770
    Abstract: A permanent-magnet synchronous machine for suppressing harmonics includes a stator and a rotor with permanent magnets. Each permanent magnet represents a magnetic pole and is, when viewed in the circumferential direction of the rotor, shaped as a parallelogram or an arrow. The pole coverage is less than one. The permanent magnets are staggered at a staggering angle, wherein the permanent magnets of one pole are arranged in the axial direction with an increasing offset of a circumferential angle in relation to a first permanent magnet of this pole. Each permanent magnet is skewed at a skew angle defined by a circumferential angle of a projection of a tip portion of the parallelogram or arrow. The optimal skew and staggering angles are calculated from the design parameters for the stator and the number of pole pairs and the number of poles in the axial direction of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 7755315
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a linear/rotation drive with an improved transmitter device for detecting the linear and rotational movements. For this purpose, the transmitter device (12, 14, 16, 17) for detecting the linear movement and/or rotational movement of the secondary part (4) of the linear drive (2) configured as an external rotor is at least partially arranged inside the primary part (6) of the linear drive (2). In this manner, the transmitter device (12, 14, 16, 17) is located in a magnetically shielded area. In order to avoid eccentricities in the transmitted device (12, 14, 16, 17), a journal (10) of the secondary part (4) is mounted on a bearing (11) in the primary part (6).

  • Patent number: 7732967
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electric machine (1) comprising a stator (2) that encompasses a winding system (10) with three winding branches, and a certain number of effective pole pairs. Each winding branch is provided with at least one coil group, each of which contains an even number of serially connected individual coils (11) that generate an individual magnetic field, respectively. Two respective individual coils (11) of a coil group are offset relative to each other in a circumferential direction of the stator (2) in such a way that the associated individual magnetic fields are provided with an offset electrical angle relative to one another at the sixth harmonic of the number of effective pole pairs, said offset electrical angle being equal to an odd multiple of 180°.

  • Publication number: 20090251013
    Abstract: The invention relates to a combination drive with a short axial length and a high magnetic capacity. According to the invention, an electric motor comprises a rotational drive device with an outer rotor (AR), and a linear drive device with an outer rotor (AT) or an inner rotor with bearings in the active part. The outer rotor (AR,AT) can be mounted by means of hydrostatic bearings (L1,L2), indirectly by means of a shaft (W), on the stators (SR,ST) of the two drives. Said bearings (L1,L2) are axially arranged inside the outer rotors (AR, AT), presenting a short structural form of the combination drive. Furthermore, the bearings are not located in the magnetic action interstice of the drives, so that they do not influence the capacity of the machine.
