Publication number: 20100264770Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2010Publication date: October 21, 2010Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: MATTHIAS BRAUN, Holger Schunk, Rolf Vollmer

Publication number: 20090251013Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2005Publication date: October 8, 2009Applicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Rolf Vollmer, Erich Bott, Matthias Braun, Holger Schunk
