  • Publication number: 20060097603
    Abstract: A rotary electric machine capable of optionally adjusting output characteristic and an electric motor vehicle using the rotary electric machine are provided. A rotary electric machine is constituted with: a rotary shaft 220; a rotor 40 connected to the rotary shaft 220; a stator 31 placed opposite the rotor 40; a stepping motor 60 serving as an adjusting motor for adjusting the position of the rotor 40 relative to the stator 31 in the rotary axis direction; and a movable member 47 or the like that is engaged to the rotor 40 and converts the rotation of the adjusting motor 60 into the displacement of the movable member 47 in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 220.

  • Publication number: 20060082361
    Abstract: A relative position detection device is designed with multiple Hall Effect sensors. In one embodiment, the multiple Hall Effect sensors comprise two different types of Hall Effect sensors. The two different types can be linear and digital. The output of the sensors is used to determine the position an accelerator control, such as a twist grip, and to control an engine or motor in accordance with the operator demand evidenced by the position of the accelerator control. A magnet member is configured to extend the useable region of flux density.

  • Publication number: 20050104471
    Abstract: This invention provides a rotary electric machine with a high productivity/maintainability. Since the shaft portion 43 or the stepwise drawn portion is formed with a flat face 47 perpendicular to the rotational axis, when the magnetic poles 42 are bonded to the rotor 40, an accurate gap control can be achieved by applying a certain pressure to the magnetic poles with a jig or the like using the perpendicular flat face 47 as reference, or by controlling the distance from the perpendicular flat face 47.
