  • Publication number: 20160172916
    Abstract: A rotor with permanent magnets comprising: a stack of laminations forming the core of the rotor having an axis, housings spaced evenly apart on the circumference of the rotor and located in the core of the rotor, some of which receive at least one element in the form of a permanent magnet held radially and axially inside the housing between an inner axial part of the housing and an outer axial part, the inner axial part of the housing comprising two concave portions and a protruding portion extending axially according to the axis, the protruding portion being radially closer to the inner axial face of the magnet than the two concave portions. Moreover, recesses are provided in the core and positioned between the housings on a trajectory successively linking the protruding portions of consecutive housings.

  • Publication number: 20160105059
    Abstract: A rotor which includes a plurality of permanent magnets arranged in first recesses which extend axially and are regularly distributed between a circumferential portion and a central portion of the magnetic body of the rotor, such as to define a plurality of circumferential polar sections. The magnets each comprise a first portion close to the circumferential portion, wherein the first portion is adjacent to a second portion close to the central portion, the first portion having a first rectangular radial section with a first predetermined width in a circumferential direction and the second portion having a second rectangular radial section with a second predetermined width in a circumferential direction, the second width being smaller than the first width. According to the invention, the rotor also includes a plurality of second recesses which extend axially and are each arranged between two example consecutive magnets at the second portion thereof.

  • Publication number: 20150211583
    Abstract: A preassembled module for a motor vehicle transmission to be arranged between an engine block and gearbox is disclosed. A support element has elements for fixing to the engine block and/or the gearbox. A clutch bearing is mounted on the support element for actuating a clutch. An intermediate rotatable shaft has a splined end to collaborate with a hub of a friction disk of the clutch, and the intermediate shaft collaborates with the support element via a bearing supporting and guiding the rotation of the intermediate shaft with respect to the support element. An electric machine has an external stator supported by the support element and a rotor having a central opening through which the intermediate shaft passes. The rotor rotates as one with the intermediate shaft. A reaction plate of a clutch, on the gearbox side, which rotates as one with the intermediate shaft.

  • Patent number: 8952685
    Abstract: Disclosed is the selecting of the optimum characteristics of a magnetic device producing a sinusoidal signal for determination of angular position in a rotary machine. The device includes a multi-polar magnetic ring which is mobile in rotation around an axis, and creates a variable magnetic field according to an angle of rotation. In close proximity to the magnetic ring, a magnetic sensor is placed in this magnetic field, and generates the sinusoidal signal. The air gap between the sensor and ring is constituted by spacing the sensor by a distance E from the magnetic ring on a radial plane. Optimum performance is achieved when a first ratio e/E of a thickness e of the multi-polar magnetic ring in a direction which is radial relative to the air gap E is between 0.4 and 2.3. A second ratio h/e of a height h of the ring, in a direction which is axial relative to the thickness e, is between 1.5 and 8.
