Patent number: 9800101Abstract: An axial flux motor intended for fixing to a machine comprises a stator stack as well as a rotor installed to rotate with respect to the stator stack, which rotor determines the axis of rotation. The stator stack comprises sectional slots on the side intersecting the axis of rotation, preferably the sectional slots include radial sectional slots or are radial sectional slots and/or there are 6-12 of them. Into each respective sectional slot a fixing part can be installed, which at least in the direction of the axis of rotation shape-locks into the sectional slot in question. The axial flux motor can be fixed to the machine by fixing at least some of the fixing parts to the machine.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2015Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Kone CorporationInventors: Asmo Tenhunen, Jussi Huppunen, Tuukka Korhonen
