  • Patent number: 4833355
    Abstract: A motor includes an armature and a field magnet which surrounds the armature. The armature includes a plurality of teeth being arranged at equal pitch, and the field magnet includes a plurality of magnetic poles being arranged at equal pitch. When the number of the magnetic poles of the field magnets is "2P" and the number of phases of divided armature windings is "Q", the number T of the teeth is determined in accordance with an equation T=(P.+-.N) Q (O<N<N<P-2P/Q). In addition, "phase" and "winding direction" of the divided armature windings to be wound on the respective teeth are determined through comparison of an actual angle in electrical degrees of respective one of teeth and an ideal angle in electrical degrees corresponding thereto.

  • Patent number: 4782259
    Abstract: A frequency generator comprises a cylindrical rotor to which an annular multipolar magnet is fixed on the inner wall thereof. The multipolar magnet includes a plurality of magnetizable sectors arranged in a circumferential direction thereof, and adjacent magnetizable sectors are magnetized alternately in reverse polarity. Within the rotor, two disk-shaped magnetic plates are supported fixedly with a predetermined space axially. On the peripheries of respective magnetic plates, a plurality of salient poles are formed with a predetermined pitch in a circumferential direction thereof. The salient poles of each magnetic plate respectively constitute a salient-pole line. Between the two salient-pole lines, a generating coil is wound in a circumferential direction thereof. To each first and second salient poles to be paired, the magnetizable sectors of different polarity of the multipolar magnet are faced in divergence relatively in the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 4700098
    Abstract: A rotary electric apparatus comprising a field magnet having different magnetic poles arranged alternately on a circumferential surface, an armature including an armature core having slots formed therein as distributed on a circumferential surface opposed to the magnetic circumferential surface, to provide salient poles between the slots, each of the salient poles having an armature winding wound therearound, and a shaft supporting either the armature or the field magnet rotatably, relative to the other. The magnetic poles of the field magnet or the slots of the armature core are formed at unequal spacings determined by some equations, so that positions where cogging occurs can be distributed.
