  • Patent number: 11451121
    Abstract: In a method for producing a material layer with a layer thickness between 0.5 and 500 ?m, a suspension with a binding agent and solid particles is applied through a template onto a base area for obtaining a green body. The binding agent is driven out of the green body and a permanent cohesion of the solid particles is created by heating and/or by compaction.

  • Publication number: 20220136563
    Abstract: A complex ring element includes first and second rings arranged such that their axes lie on a shared axis and disposed adjacent to one another when viewed in the direction of the shared axis, with one of the first and second rings representing a shaft of a rotor or being connected to a shaft of the rotor. A connecting element made of metal interconnects the first and second rings of metal such that outer peripheral surfaces of the first and second rings are partially overlapped when viewed in the direction of the shared axis. The connecting element is configured to extend circumferentially as viewed in the peripheral direction about the shared axis and is produced by an additive application method.

  • Patent number: 10097055
    Abstract: A permanently-excited dynamoelectric machine includes a stator and a rotor supported for rotation about an axis. The stator has a winding system, which is embedded in grooves of a material forming a magnetic return path and interacts electromagnetically with permanent magnets of the rotor via an air gap between the stator and the rotor. The permanent magnets are disposed on the rotor, with each individual permanent magnet, on a side facing towards the air gap, having a North and South pole. The rotor, viewed in the circumferential direction, has a pole coverage by the permanent magnets of 100%, i.e. that the permanent magnets viewed in the circumferential direction, are arranged substantially without gaps.

  • Patent number: 7501728
    Abstract: An electric machine, in particular a motor, includes a winding support assembly and a measuring system, preferably an infrared measuring system, The measuring system has at least one sensor and an evaluation unit, whereby the measuring system is integrated in the winding support assembly. The infrared sensor, which operates without making contact with the winding support assembly, provides almost instantaneously a measurement value that is proportional to the actual temperature of the winding system, thereby significantly improving motor protection. The sensor can be embedded and sealed in the winding support assembly.
