  • Patent number: 10069388
    Abstract: We describe a method of manufacturing a housing for the stator of an axial flux permanent magnet machine, the machine having a stator comprising a set of coils wound on respective stator bars and disposed circumferentially at intervals about an axis of the machine, and a rotor bearing a set of permanent magnets and mounted for rotation about said axis, and wherein said rotor and stator are spaced apart along said axis to define a gap therebetween in which magnetic flux in the machine is generally in an axial direction, the method comprising: fabricating a radial wall for said stator housing to be located in said gap between said rotor and said stator by: placing a resin membrane into a mold of an injection molding machine; injection molding a set of reinforcing features onto said membrane using a thermoplastic polymer bondable when molten with said resin; and manufacturing said housing using said radial wall.

  • Patent number: 10044237
    Abstract: There is provided an axial flux motor comprising one or more rotating disks (10) and a stator (20) comprising a cavity (30) formed between walls (40a, 40b) and containing therein more than one electro-magnetic coil assembly (50). Each electro-magnetic coil assembly (50) comprises more than one pole piece (60), each having an axially extending shank portion (70a) and first and second radially extending end shoes (72a, 72b) and one or more associated coils (55), each of the one or more associated coils (55) being wound around a shank portion (70a), wherein said outer surface (75) of said end shoes are preferably joined to one or other of said walls (40a, 40b).

  • Patent number: 9287755
    Abstract: An electric machine (10) comprises a rotor (14a, b) having permanent magnets (24a, b) and a stator (12) having coils (22) wound on stator bars (16) for interaction with the magnets across an air gap (26a, b) defined between them. The bars (16) and coils (22) are enclosed by an annular stator housing (42a, b) that extends between the air gap. A chamber (52, 54, 56) is defined that incorporates cooling medium to cool the coils. The stator housing comprises two mating clamshells (42a, b) that mount the stator bars and coils in the machine. Each clamshell is molded from reinforced plastics and interconnected (optionally through one or more intermediate components).

  • Publication number: 20140322963
    Abstract: The present application includes an electrical connector with an electrically conductive body portion, having a first end for receiving an electrical input and a second end for connection to a further electrical connection, wherein the connector further comprises an outer insulating jacket around an outer diameter of the body portion for insertion into a recess in an outer surface of a casing through which it is desired to pass the electrical connection and wherein the jacket includes a first axial location member at a first end for engagement with a location member in the recess for prevention of movement in a first inward direction and a second axial location member at a second end of the jacket for engagement with a second axial location member provided on a cover securable to an outer surface of the casing for preventing axial movement of the jacket in a second outward direction.
