Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric linear drive, particularly for a rotary-lifting motor. Such a linear drive includes a winding system including a plurality of wound coils which are arranged to be coaxial to each other and successive in axial direction, and a magnet system which is movable in axial direction relative to the winding system and includes a plurality of axially successive permanent magnets. The winding system is normally fed by a controlled converter. The coils of the winding system and the permanent magnets of the magnet system define an air gap thereinbetween. Furthermore, a sensor is provided for detecting the relative movement of winding system and magnet system and for detecting the relative position of the two systems, the sensor being used for scanning a timing ruler mounted on the outer circumference of the magnet system.

Abstract: A small electric motor is disclosed, such as a claw pole motor. An exemplary small electric motor includes a housing, a stator having at least two stator windings, a rotor having a rotational axis, and a flexible conductor foil for the electrical connection of the stator windings. The conductor foil includes winding connection contacts, external connection contacts and conductor paths between the winding connection contacts and the external connection contacts. Taps of the stator windings are electrically contacted with the winding connection contacts of the conductor foil. The conductor foil can be configured as an elongated strip having at least two connection portions which are arranged in spaced-apart relationship with each other and include winding connection contacts.

Abstract: In a small electric motor having a stator and a rotor which includes a solid-cylindrical permanent magnet and at least one shaft element mounted on a face of the permanent magnet and bonded thereto by adhesive, the shaft element has at least one recess on its face facing the permanent magnet. The adhesive is introduced into the recess and contacting the face of the permanent magnet in the area of the recess.

Abstract: The invention relates to a feeder device (1) for insertion machines for printed circuit boards, comprising a housing, a drive motor (3, 3?), a gear unit (5) and a pin wheel (6) engaging with a transport tape. The drive motor and the gear unit are arranged on a common side wall (2) of the housing such that the axles thereof are perpendicular to the side wall. It is the object of the invention to provide a narrow structural design of the feeder device, which also allows easy mounting. To this end, the rotor (14, 14?) of the drive motor (3) is rotatably mounted on only one axle (4, 4?) which is fixedly connected to the side wall (2) of the housing.

Abstract: An electrical machine having an armature that is rotatable in a stator. The armature has a winding that is energized via a commutator or via slip rings cooperating with brushes. A holding plate is provided on which the brushes are held and which is supported freely shiftable in the direction of the axis of rotation of the machine, but circumferentially immovable. The holding plate butts against a part that is supported axially immovable on the shaft of the armature, preferably a bearing. Spring means acting between the holding plate and an adjacent side plate of the stator or housing serves to bias the holding plate in an axial direction. The part against which the holding plate butts, lies preferably in or near the plane of the holding plate.

Abstract: A method for assembling a stator for an electric machine having a permanent magnet for generating a magnetic field in an air gap. Assembly of the stator is performed with the aid of a plunger, the cross section of which corresponds to the cross section of the air gap. The permanent magnet is slid into the interior of the plunger, whereas the flux return ring is slid over the same. The so formed sub-assembly is put into a casting mold adapted to be filled with a plastic material, which in its cured or hardened state forms a casing intimately surrounding the outer surface of the flux return ring and forming a face plate, to which the permanent magnet adheres. When the plastic material has set, the casting mold is opened and the plunger is retracted from the sub-assembly, resulting in a close toleranced cylindrical air gap space. After insertion of a bell-shaped rotor, a brush cover is assembled opposite the face plate.
