  • Synchronous machine with magnetic rotating field reduction and flux concentration
    Patent number: 10693331
    Abstract: A synchronous machine with flux concentration. The synchronous machine enables improved torquing characteristics with a simple structure in that at least one additional permanent magnet is provided in the rotor and/or stator, whose generated magnetic flux is at least partially returned via the flux guide regions of the rotor, wherein the magnetic flux of the additional permanent magnet in the flux guide regions of the rotor has a direction opposite to the magnetisation direction of the permanent magnets of the rotor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 24, 2019
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2020
    Assignee: EMF 97 Elektro-Maschinen-Vertrieb-Magnettechnik-und Forschungs-GmbH

  • Coupling device for the transmission of torque, and method for the transmission of torque using such a coupling device
    Patent number: 8242652
    Abstract: A coupling device for the transmission of torque. The coupling device includes a drivable rotor part, an output shaft rotatably connected with an armature part, a hysteresis part disposed on the armature part, permanent magnets configured to generate a magnetic field through which magnetic field a torque can be transmitted from the rotor part to the armature part, a stator part in which an electromagnet is disposed, the electromagnet being configured to induce a magnetic flux in the rotor part so as to adjust a torque from the rotor part to the armature part, and a synchronous coupling disposed between the stator part and the armature part.
