Patent number: 6538548Abstract: The magnetic performance, rigidity and mechanical precision of an iron core assembly can be improved. A plurality of plate-shaped core segments are disposed in succession to form a plurality of first and second core members respectively. Edge portions of adjacent core segments of the first and second core members are coupled with each other. The first and second core members are alternately laminated one over another in such a manner that first inter-segment positions each defined between adjacent two first core segments of the first core member are offset from second inter-segment positions each defined between adjacent two second core segments of the second core member in a longitudinal direction of the first and second core members, with those edge portions of the respective first and second core segments which adjoin each other in a laminating direction in which the first and second core members are laminated being overlapped each other.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2002Date of Patent: March 25, 2003Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroyuki Akita, Yuji Nakahara, Nobuaki Miyake, Ken-Ichi Azuma, Takashi Anamura

Patent number: 6323571Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a low cost, high performance, thin structure rotary motor for driving medium used in magnetic disk drive unit, optical disk drive unit or the like, in order to improve the productivity of terminating processing and the reliability of the coils. Magnetic materials which are divided to a plurality of blocks or divided corresponding to respective magnetic pole teeth are connected by means of thin portions. The respective magnetic pole teeth are wound continuously with wire without cutting the wire at the positions in which the thin portions are connected. When a stator is assembled, a plurality of blocks or magnetic pole teeth are disposed on a substrate by separating or bending the thin portions.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2000Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuji Nakahara, Ken-ichi Azuma, Masaru Matsumoto, Youichi Fujita, Satoru Akutsu, Akira Hashimoto, Yasunori Takai, Tadashi Hasegawa, Hiroshi Miyazaki, Junji Kawada
