  • Patent number: 10132285
    Abstract: A starter battery voltage step-up device (LPF) intended to prevent a drop in the battery voltage (Vbat) produced by a current surge in a power circuit of the starter when the starter is powered on. The device comprises a casing of magnetic material (C, YO, CM, CM?), a primary winding circuit (W1) intended to be inserted in series in the power circuit, and a short-circuited secondary winding circuit (W2), in which the primary winding circuit (W1) and/or the secondary winding circuit (W2) comprises a winding formed by at least one flat conductor (3) wound on edge. The invention also relates to the corresponding combination (1) of a starter and a voltage step-up device.

  • Publication number: 20180115203
    Abstract: The invention mainly relates to a motor vehicle starter stator (3) comprising: —a cylinder head (4); and —a set of permanent magnets (5) mounted against an inner face (41) of the cylinder head (4). Each permanent magnet (5) from the set is magnetically oriented in a radial manner. The stator is characterized in that the mean remanence of the permanent magnet set (5) is within a range of between 0.73 and 0.87 Tesla, in particular between 0.78 and 0.83 Tesla, and preferably between 0.79 and 0.81 Tesla.

  • Publication number: 20170018983
    Abstract: A rotatable electrical machine (1), particularly for a motor vehicle starter. The machine has an axis of rotation (X) and comprises a stator (2a) including: a generator field coil (4); including at least one wire (4a) comprising aluminum; and at least one pole shoe (3), including a winding core (31) whereon at least part of the stator winding is formed. The core has a center and a perimeter having at least one curved portion when observing the perimeter along an observational axis perpendicular to the rotational axis and through the center of the core.

  • Publication number: 20170005541
    Abstract: A motor vehicle heat engine starter comprising a rotary electric machine (5) that has a rotor (9) and a stator (8) and comprises a plurality of magnetic poles (65) arranged on an internal circumference of a yoke (66). Each magnetic pole (65) is made up of a salient pole shoe (69) surrounded by a winding (70). The starter is characterized in that an air gap (76), separating the rotor (9) from the magnetic poles (65) of the stator (8), varies according to the circumference thereof. The invention also relates to a corresponding pole shoe (69).
