  • Publication number: 20160254718
    Abstract: A segment conductor that is a conductive element of a coil wound in a distributed winding in a stator core of a rotating electric machine is formed, through press forming and is provided with a pair of straight conductor portions and a bent conductor portion that connects together one end side of the pair of straight conductor portions. Moreover, one part of the segment conductor is formed, through press forming, so as to be thinner than another part. Specifically, a part that is exposed from the stator core is formed, through press forming, so as to be thinner than a part that is contained in a slot of the stator core. The stator has a structure wherein a plurality of segment conductors are disposed in a distributed winding in the stator core. The rotating electric machine is equipped with this stator. The vehicle is equipped with this rotating electric machine.

  • Patent number: 7015604
    Abstract: A stepping motor includes: a rotary shaft; a rotor magnet mounted fixedly on the rotary shaft; a bearing member including a smaller-diameter portion and a larger-diameter portion, and supporting the rotary shaft; and a yoke including a plurality of magnetic pole teeth surrounding an outer circumferential surface of the rotor magnet, and a bottom plate having an opening into which the smaller-diameter portion of the bearing member is inserted. The smaller-diameter portion of the bearing member is fitted in the opening of the bottom plate and clamped radially outward.

  • Patent number: 6809439
    Abstract: It is a stepping motor enabled to prevent generation of detent torque therein and arbitrarily set the detent torque. This stepping motor has a rotor constructed by rotatably supporting a shaft, to which a multi-polarized permanent magnet (3) is fixed, and a stator consisting of a plurality of air-core coils (4, 5), each of which is made from a predetermined number of turns of a wire wound around an axis perpendicular to a central axis of rotation of the rotor, to be placed along a peripheral surface of the permanent magnet (3) and to be evenly disposed to face one another.
