Abstract: An electrical machine using a plurality of separate teeth that can be axially inserted into a stator ring or armature after receiving a bobbin or form wound coil. Each tooth contains a primary locating structure and a secondary locating structure which respectively set the radial position and the angular position of the teeth in a stator ring. This construction can also be used with internal motor armatures. The primary and secondary locating structures have a size equal to or smaller than the portion of the tooth that holds the coil. This allows insertion of a pre-wound coil over these features without interference. The use of separate stator or armature teeth that are press fitted into the stator ring or armature allows the use of coil types that could not be inserted into a one piece stator or armature and tooth materials with optimum magnetic properties.

Abstract: A switched reluctance d.c. motor having a plurality stators has been disclosed. Each stator comprises phase windings for energizing a set of stator poles. The stator poles are distributed about the circumference of the stator yoke. Two phases activated in succession are associated with distinct ones of the plurality of stators. The motor of the present invention operates under a wide range of rotational speeds while reducing the switching losses and audible noise in the rotor and stator iron.

Abstract: An improved yet relatively inexpensive motor is provided by mounting commercially-available magnets together with pole pieces to the interior surfaces of the housing of a motor. The pole pieces are then shaped in part, in situ, so as to form a cylindrical space between the pole pieces. A rotatable armature assembly and a stationary, magnetically-conductive core member are mounted within the cylindrical space formed by the shaped pole pieces with the armature assembly being radially-spaced from and disposed between the pole pieces on the one hand and the core member on the other hand.

Abstract: A direct current permanent magnet electric motor is disclosed which comprises a hollow rotatable armature, magnet means mounted concentrically with and spaced radially from the armature, and one or more pairs of pole pieces which directly contact opposite ends of the magnet means and are shaped so that they extend longitudinally or axially between the magnet means and the armature.
