  • Publication number: 20160056671
    Abstract: A stator for a flux switching modulated pole machine, the stator including a stator core, a coil, and at least two permanent magnets, the stator core including at least four coaxial annular stator core members, each including a respective set of radially protruding teeth, the teeth of each annular stator core member being distributed along a circumferential direction, wherein the annular stator core members are axially displaced relative to each other, and wherein the teeth of each annular stator core member are circumferentially displaced relative to the teeth of each adjacent annular stator core member; wherein the coil is arranged coaxial with the annular stator core members and axially sandwiched between two of the sets of teeth; and wherein the permanent magnets are axially magnetized and axially sandwiched between two of the annular stator core members.

  • Publication number: 20150180289
    Abstract: A stator core component for a stator of a modulated pole machine, the modulated pole machine including the stator and a rotor, the stator and the rotor defining an air gap between respective interface surfaces of the rotor the stator for communicating magnetic flux between the stator and the rotor, wherein the stator core component includes an annular part from which a plurality of teeth extend in a radial direction towards the rotor, the teeth being arranged along a circumference of the annular part, each tooth having an interface surface facing the air gap and adapted to allow magnetic flux to communicate between the stator and the rotor via the air gap, the interface surface of each tooth defining a tooth span in the circumferential direction of the tooth.

  • Publication number: 20150048708
    Abstract: A stator for an electric machine, the stator including a stator core and a winding. The stator core including an annular stator core back component providing a magnetic flux path in a circumferential direction and in an axial direction of the annular stator core back component; and a plurality of stator pole components each including a mounting part mounted to the stator core back component, an interface part defining an interface surface facing an active air gap between the stator and a rotor of the electrical machine; and a radially oriented tooth part extending radially from the annular stator core component and connecting the interface part with the mounting part.
