  • Publication number: 20250015653
    Abstract: The outrunner motor includes a rotor housing designed as a rotor bell with rotor poles situated in the rotor bell. The rotor bell is mountable in a stator of the outrunner motor so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation and exhibits a rigidity that is asymmetrical in relation to the axis of rotation, in particular an asymmetrical tilting rigidity. The outrunner motor also has a motor shaft, a stator with a plurality of stator teeth, and a rotor surrounding the stator. The rotor allows the outrunner motor to be quieter and have lower levels of vibration. The center of gravity of the rotor bell is located on an axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 9669896
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sensor arrangement. The signal from the sensor is used to control an auxiliary motor of a vehicle propelled by muscular strength. The auxiliary motor is there integrated into a wheel hub unit of the vehicle. The wheel hub unit comprises a stationary axle and a hub rotatably mounted to the axle. According to the invention, the assembly comprises the sensor and a freewheel of the drive train, which is propelled by muscular strength, mounted rotatable relative to the axle, where the sensor is arranged such that it detects a rotational motion of the freewheel relative to the axle.
