  • Patent number: 6872002
    Abstract: A bearing material includes: a backing metal made of stainless steel; and a porous sintered metal layer integrated with at least one surface of the backing metal by means of a bonding layer, particles of an inorganic substance being contained in a dispersed manner at grain boundaries of the porous sintered metal layer, wherein the porous sintered metal layer containing the particles of the inorganic substance are composed of 4 to 10% by weight of tin, 10 to 40% by weight of nickel, not less than 0.1 and less than 0.5% by weight of phosphorus, and the balance consisting of copper.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6841904
    Abstract: A resolver terminal attachment structure for a resolver (500) including a stator core (1) constructed from multiple laminated plates providing multiple stationary magnetic poles (3) with attendant stationary magnetic pole teeth (4) that protrude in a direction that faces the center of a stator yoke (2), the magnetic poles adapted to accept a stator winding, includes a lead wire fixture (6), which electrically couples the stator winding to a lead wire (204) via attachment pins(7), and two protrusions (2a, 2b) formed integrally and unitarily with the stator core at the outside of the stator core for supporting the lead wire fixture between the protrusions.

  • Patent number: 6815853
    Abstract: A stator core 1 is surrounded by a first insulating member 40 and a second insulating member 41. Locking protrusions 9 are formed on the outer periphery of the stator core 1, and the locking protrusions 9 form a keyway 11. A modular connector 2 includes a key part 21 that fits within the keyway 11 to secure the modular connector 2 to the stator core 1. Fastening pins 18 are embedded in the modular connector 2 to conduct electricity from a mating connector 91 and a lead line 93 to the resolver.

  • Patent number: 6756709
    Abstract: A stator assembly is formed by sandwiching a circular stator core made of soft magnetic plates from the both sides with a first magnetic-pole assembly having a part mounting section and a second magnetic-pole assembly. The stator core, the first magnetic-pole assembly, and the second magnetic-pole assembly are surrounded by a synthetic resin in a manner such that a surface at which a magnetic-pole tooth of the stator core face a rotor is exposed. The part mounting section has a plurality of holes in each of which a pin (not shown) penetrates, and holes also penetrating in the stator core at positions corresponding to the outside of the circumference of the first magnetic-pole assembly. The first magnetic-pole assembly and the part mounting section, and the second magnetic-pole assembly are fitted with the synthetic resin surrounding through the plurality of through holes provided for the stator core.
