  • Patent number: 11121609
    Abstract: A method for producing a cage rotor for an asynchronous machine has the following steps: providing a laminated rotor core made of a plurality of stacked rotor laminations which each have a plurality of rotor lamination grooves distributed in the circumferential direction; placing rod-shaped wire bundles, which are each made up of a plurality of wires, into the rotor lamination grooves; rotating the individual rotor laminations relative to each other, thereby deforming the wire bundles; placing short-circuit rings on both end faces of the laminated rotor core, and connecting the wire bundles to the short-circuit rings.

  • Patent number: 10637313
    Abstract: A rotor for an asynchronous machine includes a laminated core and a short-circuit cage which is at least partially integrated in the laminated core, in which the short-circuit cage is made of rods having or made from a first electrically conductive material and short-circuit rings having or made from a second electrically conductive material. A support ring is provided on at least one of the short-circuit rings and is in mechanical contact therewith. The at least one short-circuit ring and/or the support ring has a contour for creating the mechanical contact, and the mechanical contact is a press fit.

  • Patent number: 10033238
    Abstract: A connection ring arrangement, includes a plurality of conducting rings, and a support element which holds the plurality of conducting rings. The support element has a projection arrangement having two projections which are designed receive the conducting ring and which extend from said conducting ring. The projection arrangement has an open end and a closed end, which closed end receives the conducting ring. The distance between the projections is at least partially smaller than the diameter of the conducting ring and at least one projection is at least partially elastically formed in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the projection. The projections are designed such that the conducting ring is inserted between the projections.

  • Patent number: 7485742
    Abstract: A new class of non-glycosidic and non-peptidic inhibitors of selectins with low molecular weight according to the general formula 1 is described, as well as methods for their production. These compounds represent a new class of non-toxic, in vivo anti-inflammatory effective inhibitors of selectins, and do not exhibit the disadvantages of the glycosidic inhibitor complexes, and are furthermore more potent in vitro, compared to the known drug bimosiamose. Furthermore, medicaments containing the compounds and their uses in the treatment of diseases are described.
