  • Patent number: 11251674
    Abstract: A cooling apparatus for an electric linear motor includes a carrier element configured for placement on an active part of the electric linear motor, a cooling element, and a retaining element configured to mount the cooling element on the carrier element. The retaining element has a first planar area on a side facing the active part of the electric linear motor and a second planar area on a side facing away from the active part of the electric linear motor. The retaining element has an opening sized to extend between the first and second planar areas for passage of a fastening element. Each of the first and second planar areas has formed therein a cutout circulating around the opening, with a sealing element being received in the cutout.

  • Patent number: 7977829
    Abstract: The invention relates to a housing (2) for an electrical machine (1), said housing comprising a housing wall (3) having an inner surface (4). At least two cooling channels (15) extend inside the housing wall. A connecting deviation channel (16) is provided between two of the cooling channels (15).

  • Patent number: 7737585
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a fluid-cooled electric machine in a simple manner. To achieve this, a housing (1) is configured in two parts, in such a way that each housing part (2, 3) comprises a bearing bracket (4, 5) and said housing parts are designed (2, 3) to form cooling channels once assembled.

  • Patent number: 7705496
    Abstract: The housing of an electrical machine should, despite efficient cooling, be provided with a more compact design. To this end, the invention provides that the cooling ducts (2) of a housing (1), which is preferably provided in the form of an aluminum extruded profile, are left open toward the inside. The inner walls of the cooling ducts (2) are then formed by an inserted stator pack (4). This enables the corner areas of the housing to be kept free for assembly and the reduction of material for manufacturing the housing (1). In addition, due to the open cooling air ducts (2), thin wall thicknesses in the profile and thus small motor dimensions while simultaneously having a large cooling duct cross-section can be realized.

  • Patent number: 7692356
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric machine (1) comprising a stator (21) and a rotor. The stator (21) includes at least one winding system having a plurality of coils (2) wherein start and end of the corresponding coils (21) is fixed on an end face of the stator (21) by means of a circuit support (7) and contacted in such a manner as to obtain predeterminable connections of the coils (2).

  • Patent number: 7635256
    Abstract: A fan housing for an electric machine includes a housing body for accommodation of the electric machine having a mounting flange for securement to a motor-driven element. The housing body defines a longitudinal axis and includes a cross-shaped or star-shaped configuration in vertical relationship to the longitudinal axis. Thus, when the electric machine is inserted in the fan housing, the corners of the mounting flange of the electric machine for attachment to the motor-driven element remain clear for easy access to screw fasteners.

  • Publication number: 20090251016
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor (23) for an electrical machine (1), comprising a rotor shaft (4), rotor laminations (5), and a rotor brake body (6). The rotor laminations (5) and the rotor brake body (6) are fixed to the rotor shaft in an axially interspaced manner. According to the invention, the rotor laminations (5) and the rotor brake body (6) are directly interconnected in a rotationally fixed manner.

  • Publication number: 20090230825
    Abstract: The invention relates to a shaft coupling for connecting a transmitter (15) to an electrical machine, in particular to an electric motor (16), wherein an end section (5) of a transmitter shaft (6) and an end section (2) of a motor shaft (1) are arranged facing each other, and at least one torque transmission element (9) is arranged between the end sections (5) of the transmitted shaft (6) and the motor shaft (1). The torque transmission element (9) has on each of the front faces thereof a transverse groove (10,11) passing through the center thereof, wherein claw-like elements (3, 4, 7, 8) of the end sections (2, 5) of the motor shaft (1) and the transmitter shaft (6) correspond in the assembled state with the transverse grooves (10,11) of the torque transmission element (9) in such a way that a torque transmission takes place from the motor shaft (1) to the transmitter (15), which compensates both radial and axial offsets as well as angular offsets of the motor and the transmitter shaft.

  • Publication number: 20080290761
    Abstract: Temperature or vibration sensors (14) are often used, in addition to a transmitter (13), to monitor a motor (12). The aim of the invention is to simplify the transmission of the sensor signals of a plurality of sensor devices (13,14) mounted in or on a motor (12). To this end, an interface module (15) is mounted in or on a motor (12), especially in or on an electric motor, said interface module comprising a processing device for receiving and processing a first sensor signal emitted by a first sensor component (13). The first sensor component (13) is embodied in such a way as to detect a first physical variable and to emit the first sensor signal, and the processing device is embodied in such a way as to additionally receive and process a second sensor signal emitted by a second sensor component (14). The second sensor component (14) is used to detect a second physical variable and to emit the second sensor signal.
