Abstract: An electrical motor includes a shaft and a rotor mounted upon the shaft. The shaft includes an inlet for cooling air, and an internal passageway for conducting cooling airflow through the inlet caused by rotation of the shaft. The passageway includes a first portion extending axially through the shaft along a longitudinal portion of the shaft upon which portion the rotor is mounted, and a second portion extending radially outwardly from the first portion and leading to an airflow outlet on an outer surface of the shaft.

Abstract: A centrifugal compressor is provided. The centrifugal compressor includes a plurality of diffuser vanes arranged in a circumferentially spaced array about a machine axis. Each diffuser vane is mounted on a respective shaft. Each of the shafts is coupled to a ring that is rotatable about the machine axis. A worm drive is provided that includes a worm that meshes with a worm gear or a segment of a worm gear mounted along a portion of the circumference of the ring. A step motor is coupled to the worm. The step motor is operable to rotate the worm about a worm axis perpendicular to the machine axis, such that the worm drive transmits rotational torque from the step motor to the ring, to resultantly vary the position of the diffuser vanes.
