  • Patent number: 9124164
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric machine (10), in particular a generator for a motor vehicle, comprising an exciter system composed of a plurality of electrically excited salient poles. The salient poles can be designed within the stator (16) or rotor (20) in the form of electromagnetically excited poles (22, 23; 24, 25) which are axially and radially oriented on the periphery and are alternatively polarized in the peripheral direction. In order to improve performance and reduce the magnetic leakage flux, permanent magnets (66), which are secured by means of a magnetically non-excitable holding element (60), are inserted into interstices (74) between the alternating poles (24, 25). The holding element (60) is bilaterally mounted in pole grooves (92, 94), is radially, axially, and tangentially resilient, and has a wave-shaped (62) and/or bead-shaped (76, 78; 86) profile.

  • Publication number: 20090080823
    Abstract: An electric motor (1) having a mount system (2) is used in particular as a motor for power-assisted steering. The mount system (2) has a roller bearing (8) in the form of a movable bearing, wherein a rolling-surface body (25; 26) of the roller bearing (8) has a groove in which a spring element (18) is arranged. When the electric motor (1) is mounted, the spring element (18) is prestressed in a radial direction (20), with the result that play-free mounting of a shaft (5) of the electric motor (1) is ensured in the radial direction (20) by means of the roller bearing (8).

  • Patent number: 7237962
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical machine 1, in particular an electric motor, with a housing 2 and covers 3, 4 that close the housing 2 and contain bearings 7, 8 that rotatably support a rotor 5. According to the present invention, spring elements 7.3, 8.3 are provided that act upon at least one bearing shell 7.1, 7.2, 8.1, 8.2 each of bearings 7, 8 with a compression force acting in the axial direction, whereby the mounting of the bearing shell 7.1, 7.2, 8.1, 8.2 that is acted upon by one of the spring elements 7.3, 8.3 is configured as a sliding fit.

  • Patent number: 5900688
    Abstract: An electrical machine, especially a generator for vehicles, having a rotor rotatably supported in a stator housing is proposed, the rotor having an exciter winding (24), disposed in a manner fixed against relative rotation coaxially to a rotor shaft, the winding ends (26, 28) of the exciter winding being extended to wiper rings disposed on the rotor shaft. For the sake of simple centrifugal force-proof fixation of the exciter winding, it is provided that the exciter winding (24) is disposed on a winding carrier (11), which has means (32, 33) for firmly clamping the winding ends (26, 28) (FIG. 2).
