  • Publication number: 20100033051
    Abstract: A permanent-magnet rotating electrical machine includes a stator with an armature coil and a rotor arranged to rotate with a predetermined air gap with respect to the stator. The rotor includes a rotor core. Permanent magnets are arranged inside the rotor core on an outer circumferential side, or at the surface of the rotor core. The permanent magnets each are divided into a plurality of segments in an axial direction along a dividing face. The dividing face and an end face of the permanent magnet facing a circumferential direction form acute angles to define narrowed areas to suppress generation of eddy currents in the permanent magnets, prevent deterioration of the permanent magnets, and improve efficiency of the permanent-magnet rotating electrical machine.

  • Patent number: 5313131
    Abstract: A slotless motor has a sufficiently small gap between a stator and a rotor, and improves characteristics of the torque and the power factor. Accordingly, the slotless motor comprises stator cores having no slots, coils forming revolving magnetic fields in the stator cores, and rotors having a permanent magnet. The coils are disposed along the stator cores cylindrically and constructed in one layer. Each of the coils forms a part which decreases the distribution of the number of turns in the direction of a diameter of the stator cores, and adjoining coils pile on each other at the part in the direction of the diameter of the stator cores. The distribution changes in response to a predetermined range.

  • Patent number: 5172020
    Abstract: A magnetic core employed in AC motors, transformers and the like includes a first core portion formed by laminating silicon steel sheets each containing 3.5% silicon, the first core portion having two ends in the direction that the sheets are laminated, and second core portions disposed at the respective ends of the first core portion and formed by laminating silicon steel sheets each containing 6.5% silicon. In distorted wave alternating field, low frequency fluxes pass through the first core portion and harmonic fluxes pass through the second core portions. Since each second core portion has a low level of magnetostriction, the magnetic noise due to the harmonics is reduced.
