  • Publication number: 20140009026
    Abstract: A synchronous machine has a rotor rotatable about an axis of rotation and a stator surrounding the rotor radially on the outside. When viewed in axial direction, the rotor has a number of rotor rings running tangentially around the axis of rotation. When viewed in tangential direction about the axis of rotation, the rotor rings each have a plurality of claws of soft-magnetic material. The claws are in the form of an L, defined by first and second limbs. An excitation device is fixed to the stator and has, for each rotor ring, a magnetic field generator which interacts with the respective rotor ring and is arranged radially inside the respective rotor ring. The magnetic field generator generates a magnetic field directed in the axial direction and is coupled magnetically to the second limb of the claws of the respective rotor ring in the region of the radially inner termination.

  • Patent number: 6998813
    Abstract: The invention provides a device to generate an rpm-dependent signal, or a tachogenerator, having a plurality of magnet elements with alternating polarity which are arranged and distributed around the circumference of the rotor shaft. The magnet elements preferably take the form of a magnetic ring which has alternatively polarized sections and is held on a support attached to the rotor shaft. The tachogenerator of the present invention has at least one coil parallel to the axis which is arranged on a second supporting device at an axial distance to the magnet elements. The magnets and coils are arranged spatially relative to each other and can be rotated in relation to each other with the rotation of the rotor shaft in order to induce an rpm-dependent signal in the coils. In accordance with the invention, a signal displacement device is provided which superimposes a DC voltage on the signals induced in the coils in order to generate a voltage-displaced signal.
