  • Patent number: 11539256
    Abstract: Various embodiments include stator for an electrical machine comprising: a stator winding; and a yoke with a plurality of slots. There are a plurality of conductor segments connected to one another, wherein each conductor segment has one respective axially internal inner section and two respective axially external outer sections. The respective inner section of each conductor segment is embedded into a respective slot. Ducts for coolant flow in the axial direction are formed at least in a portion of each of the slots. The stator defines, at least in a first axial end region, a first coolant chamber fluidically encapsulated from a surrounding area. The first coolant chamber surrounds at least a portion of the respective outer sections of each of the conductor segments situated in the first axial end region. The first coolant chamber is fluidically connected to the ducts to conduct coolant into and/or out of the ducts.

  • Publication number: 20220399790
    Abstract: A cage rotor of an asynchronous machine includes a magnetically conductive body having substantially axially running slots with conductors connected to end faces of the magnetically conductive body in an electrically conductive manner by short circuit rings. The short circuit rings have an outer side, an inner side, a front side, and a rear side. A supporting element made of a high-strength material is located at least radially within the short circuit rings, i.e. on the inner face, with the supporting element being connected to the short-circuit ring, at least in one section, with a material fit.

  • Patent number: 10421988
    Abstract: The method includes binding living cells to magnetic particles, adding them to a sensor array, uniformly distributing over the sensor array, magnetically fixing the magnetic particles having the bound cells over the sensor array, and adding substances to maintain and/or improve the cell vitality to the sensory array, and/or adding substances to worsen the cell vitality to the sensor array. The assembly includes a sensor array composed of sensors, which are designed to be in direct fluidic contact with a fluid, and a device for generating a magnetic field over the sensor array. A layer that comprises magnetic particles and living cells is formed on the sensor array.

  • Patent number: 8978595
    Abstract: A piston engine has a housing and a piston. The piston is magnetically and movably disposed in the housing. A device for magnetically supporting the piston is fixedly mounted relative to the housing. A linear machine in conjunction with the magnetic bearing of the piston can prevent friction and thus result in a machine for converting mechanical into electric energy without having to lubricate and with reduced mechanical effort.

  • 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.
