  • Publication number: 20100194226
    Abstract: An electric machine excited by a permanent magnet, particularly a larger generator of a wind power station, is to be produced and assembled easily. According to the invention, magnetic modules (1) are provided. A rotor can be equipped, for example, with said magnetic modules. Each magnet module (1) comprises a carrier plate (4) for fastening to the rotor, at least one permanent magnet (3), which is disposed on the carrier plate (4), and a covering device (2). The at least one permanent magnet (3) is fastened to the carrier plate (4) such that it is located between the carrier plate (4) and the covering device (2). Advantageously, these magnetic modules (1) can be easily installed or replaced in the gap between the rotor and stator.

  • Patent number: 7029339
    Abstract: A shock-proof electric marine engine, e.g. an engine or generator, is for a marine (Navy) ship, and includes a stator and a rotor in a housing. The stator and the rotor are connected in such a way that they are rotatably displaceable in a counter direction and in a radial/axial manner with limited slack. The rotor and stator form a displaceable unit in relation to the housing, which can be displaced away from the housing with a higher vibration overshoot range. The housing is elastically connected to the marine (navy) ship.

  • Patent number: 6613438
    Abstract: The invention relates to a one-component epoxy resin adhesive which is elasticated with silicone rubber and whose open joint time is adaptable to whichever production process it is being used in by the concentration of UV initiator and/or the duration and/or intensity of UV activation and which is therefore particularly suitable for automatable manufacturing processes, since the workpieces after initial fixing require no additional mounts even during thermal aftercuring. This adhesive is preferentially suitable for the extensive adhesive bonding of permanent magnets, such as in the assembly of a permasyn motor, for example.
