  • Publication number: 20130299299
    Abstract: A clutch has a stationary carrier, a first clutch member and a second clutch member. The first clutch member and the second clutch member are disposed so as to be rotatable about a common axis. The carrier has a coil arrangement, which is partially accommodated in a first partial core containing soft iron and which faces towards the first clutch member. The first clutch member has a second partial core, containing soft iron, having magnetic-flux poles that at least partially enclose the coil arrangement of the stationary carrier. The second clutch member has permanent-magnet elements, which face towards the magnetic-flux poles and which, are at least partially in alignment with at least some of the magnetic-flux poles. The first clutch member and the second clutch member are set up to transmit a torque and/or a rotary motion from the one clutch member to the other clutch member.

  • Patent number: 6958560
    Abstract: The invention relates to a winding arrangement for an electric machine with a polyphase winding, in which a plurality of coils or coil groups connected in parallel (50, 52, 54, 56) are connected with a conductor rail (40, 42, 44, 46). This makes it possible to connect the coil ends directly and without connecting pieces with the electric power supply. The conductor rails (40, 42, 44, 46) are preferably arranged at one or both face sides of the post of the electric machine below the slot openings, i.e., in the area of the back of the post. Furthermore, the invention is aimed at an corresponding manufacturing method for a winding arrangement of a polyphase winding for an electric machine, in which the coils or coil groups connected in parallel (50, 52, 54, 56) of the winding are connected with one of the conductor rails (40, 42, 44, 46).

  • Patent number: 6870294
    Abstract: The invention concerns a winding for a post or an armature of an electric machine with a post or armature (32) with slots (34) composed at least in part of L-shaped structural parts (1, 2, 3). In doing so, one leg of an L-shaped structural part each time creates a slot bar (8a, 8b) located in a slot, and the other leg creates a connecting line (6a, 6b) located at a face of the post or armature. Moreover, the invention concerns a winding with several interlaced coils (50, 52, 50?, 52?, 50?, 52?) whereby the connecting lines (6) of interlaced coils (50, 52, 52?, 50?, 52?) are staggered and therefore arranged in layers. The invention furthermore concerns a winding with connecting lines (6) flatter than the slot bars (8), styled as a fractional pitched polyphase winding with two slots per pole and branch.
