  • Axial flux electrical motor and fan assembly and methods of assembling the same
    Patent number: 10544789
    Abstract: A fan assembly includes an axis of rotation and a fan that includes an inlet ring and a rear plate that together define an inner fan chamber, wherein the fan is a backward curved plug fan. The fan assembly also includes an axial flux motor coupled to the rear plate such that the motor is positioned entirely outside the fan chamber to facilitate preventing interference between the motor and an airflow within the fan chamber.
    Type: Grant

  • AXIAL FLUX ELECTRICAL MACHINES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME.
    Publication number: 20150091410
    Abstract: An axial flux electric machine comprises a rotor assembly configured to rotate about an axis of rotation. A stator core is coupled to the rotor assembly. The stator core comprises a stator core base and a plurality of circumferentially-spaced stator teeth extending from the base in a direction parallel to the axis. Each stator tooth of the plurality of stator teeth comprises a top surface, a pair of opposing circumferential sides, and a chamfered portion defined at an intersection of the top surface and each of the pair of opposing sides. The chamfered portion facilitates reducing an amount of torque ripple produced by the axial flux electric motor.
