Abstract: A manufacturing method of a slotless stator, involves assembling jointly define two divided cores which a stator core into a cylindrical shape, so as to contain therebetween a cylindrically shaped stator winding, wherein the stator winding an outer diameter larger than an inner diameter of the stator core in the uncompressed condition. By so doing, the stator winding is assembled inside the stator core in a radially inward compressed condition. At this time, since the stator winding functions as a spring pressing the inside of the stator core so as to expand in the normal direction (the radial outward direction), winding is mechanically secured by the resilient spring force at that time to the inner periphery of the stator core. Hence there is no longer the need for a special fixation mechanism or adhesive when assembling the stator core winding and stator core together.

Abstract: A rotating electrical machine includes, a cooling circuit 4 is provided for introducing oil to inside a housing, for cooling an inner periphery and outer periphery of a slotless stator in that order. Moreover, there is also provided a cover plate for preventing back flow of the oil introduced to inside the housings, to an outer peripheral side of the slotless stator 1. As a result, oil which has just been introduced to the housing, and has not yet been supplied for cooling the heat source, is promptly circulated to the inner peripheral side of the stator which requires much more cooling, so that the temperature rise of the overall rotating electrical machine is effectively suppressed. Moreover, a part of the oil introduced to inside the housing is used for lubricating bearings supporting a rotor.

Abstract: A method of securing a stator winding such that it has improved heat dissipation performance includes steps of inserting a stator winding into a stator core soaking these components in a varnish tank while being held together as one, and after the varnish has soaked into the stator winding 15, withdrawing the winding and core from the varnish tank. Then a mandrel comprising an outer peripheral pressing portion made by wrapping a fluororubber around an outer periphery of a mandrel body made of a fluoroplastic, is inserted into the stator winding. After this, the varnish is heat hardened with the stator core, the stator winding, and the mandrel 33 all held together as one. In so doing, the outer peripheral pressing portion is deformed with irregularities replicating the inner periphery of the stator winding 15. Hence on the inner peripheral side of the stator winding, the varnish resin hardens with the irregularities retained.

Abstract: An articulated mechanism for use as an articulated arm of an industrial robot, for example, includes a plurality of arms interconnecting articulations having respective fluid pressure angular displacement motors for angularly displacing the arms relatively to each other. The motors have sidewalls forming working chambers, where an inner surface of the sidewall is exposed to working fluid pressure tending to bow the sidewall outward, and an outer surface of the sidewall has a plurality of counteracting pressure chambers which apply a counteracting pressure force against the sidewall to oppose the outward bowing force, the counteracting pressure force increasing in pressure surface area as the piston is displaced within the motor chamber.

Abstract: An armature winding structure for use in an electric motor includes a web-shaped strand bundle composed of a plurality of parallel strands. The strand bundle has a plurality of longitudinally spaced bends and a plurality of straight strand bundle segments. Adjacent ones of the strand bundle segments are positioned one on each side of one of the bends. The strand bundle segments are transversely staggered on one side of the strand bundle successively from one end to the other of the strand bundle, by intervals each substantially equal to the width of the strand bundle. The strand bundle segments thus staggered are longitudinally folded over along fold lines extending respectively across or near the bends transversely of the strand bundle, thereby providing a plate-like winding in which the strand bundle segments lie adjacent to one another.

Abstract: An articulated mechanism for use as an articulated arm of an industrial robot, for example, includes a plurality of arms interconnecting articulations having respective fluid pressure angular displacement motors for angularly displacing the arms relatively to each other. A plurality of pipes are positioned in the arms, respectively, for supplying a fluid under pressure to the articulations, and a plurality of oil passages are disposed in the articulations, respectively, and branched from the pipes, respectively, to supply the fluid under pressure to the fluid pressure motors.

Abstract: A hydraulic pressure system for supplying a fluid under pressure includes a fluid pressure source for supplying the fluid pressure, an accumulator for storing part of the fluid from the fluid pressure source, the accumulator having a gas chamber filled with a high-pressure gas for pressurizing the stored fluid, and a structural member having a hermetically sealed space held in fluid communication with the gas chamber. The structural member comprises a link of an articulated mechanism interconnecting articulations, the link comprising a high polymer composite material and a metal material and having smaller-diameter portions joined to the articulations, respectively. The composite material comprises a prepreg which is either woven of weft threads extending parallel to an axis of the link and warp threads extending perpendicularly to the axis of the link, or woven of weft threads and warp threads which are inclined at about 54.75.degree. with respect to the axis of the link.

Abstract: Two-color recording paper comprising an ink film and a thermosensitive recording paper which are separably mated together. The ink film has a thin film base and an ink layer of a first hue coated on the film base. The ink layer contains a mixture of a colored material such as dye with a thermoplastic material which is solid at ordinary temperature and becomes fluid at high temperature. The thermosensitive recording paper has a substrate and a coloring layer coated on the substrate. The coloring layer contains a developer which colors in a second hue different from the hue of the ink layer. The ink film and the thermosensitive recording paper are overlapped separably with an ink surface of the ink film and a coloring surface of the thermosensitive recording paper facing each other.
