Abstract: A drive wheel for a motor vehicle may include at least one sleeve-type wheel rim and an external-rotor motor that includes a rotor. The sleeve-type wheel rim may be connected directly and in a torque-coupled manner to the rotor using a releasable connection.

Abstract: A drive device is particularly suited for driving a vehicle. The device has an electrical drive machine with a rotor. The drive machine is coupled to a drive shaft by way of a gear arrangement. The gear arrangement, which includes a gear mechanism and/or a differential, is integrated within the rotor of the electrical drive machine.

Abstract: A stator arrangement and a rotor arrangement for a transverse flux machine. The stator arrangement comprises an annular stator back yoke having a number of stator poles designed in the manner of claw poles. The rotor arrangement includes number of rotor poles designed in the manner of claw poles and connected to each other to form an annular rotor body enclosing a unipolar ring magnet magnetized in an axial direction. In the stator arrangement, the stator back yoke includes a first laminated stack of metal sheets whose laminations are stacked in an axial direction, and the stator poles include a second laminated stack of metal sheets whose laminations are stacked in a tangential direction. In the rotor arrangement, the rotor poles include laminated stacks of metal sheets whose laminations are stacked in a tangential direction.

Abstract: The invention provides a stator arrangement as well as a rotor arrangement for a transverse flux machine. The stator arrangement comprises an annular stator back yoke having a number of stator poles that are designed in the manner of claw poles. The stator winding is located between the stator back yoke and the stator poles. The rotor arrangement is constructed in a similar way in which a number of rotor poles are designed in the manner of claw poles and connected to each other such that they form an annular rotor body that encloses a unipolar ring magnet magnetized in an axial direction. In the stator arrangement according to the invention, the stator back yoke is made of a first laminated stack of metal sheets whose laminations are stacked in an axial direction, and the stator poles are made of a second laminated stack of metal sheets whose laminations are stacked in a tangential direction.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a rotor arrangement for an electric machine in which a rotor body is provided and permanent magnets made from an isotropic magnetic material are embedded in the rotor body, the permanent magnets being magnetized by an external magnetizing device with a magnetization that corresponds at least approximately to a Halbach magnetic field distribution.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronically commutated electric motor having a multi-pole magnetized permanent magnet, a plurality of flux guide units each of which features at least one flux collector section and one flux concentrator section, whereby each flux guide unit picks up a radial magnetic flux from the permanent magnet and redirects it into a transversal magnetic flux, and having a plurality of coils each of which is allocated to a flux guide unit and is arranged axially parallel to the permanent magnet.

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.
