Abstract: An AC generator for use in motor vehicles which is high in power generation and cooling efficiency. The magnetic circuit is so constructed that its number of slots per each pole and each phase is 0.5 and that its winding system is of concentrated winding. With such a construction, the total length of its stator coils can be reduced compared with that of the conventional machine. In addition, its output and efficiency are improved by the reduced temperature rise and a reduction in its structure and cost can be achieved by the reduced consumption of copper.

Abstract: A linear induction motor for an elevator which includes a secondary, stationary element having a body formed with a plurality of iron-core mounting holes arranged longitudinally of the body at a certain interval, and iron cores disposed in the holes. The stationary, secondary element allows magnetic flux flowing therethrough to pass through the iron cores, thereby reducing the dimension of the total magnetic gap in the motor. Furthermore, the combination of the iron cores in which eddy currents flow with difficulty and the body along which eddy currents tend to flow makes it possible to reduce the ineffective eddy currents.

Abstract: A linear motor elevation system comprising an elongated magnetic induction member (21) mounted along the hoistway. The induction member (21) has a plurality of magnetic poles (21a) disposed at equal intervals along the hoistway so that they face toward the armature (27). An elevator car (4) or a counter weight has attached thereto a field magnet (26) disposed in a facing relationship with respect to the magnetic induction member (21) for generating magnetic poles in the induction member (21). The field magnet (26) comprises an iron core (23) having a U-shaped cross section including a central web portion on which a field winding 24 is wound and parallel flange portions extending from the web portion toward the magnetic induction member (21).

Abstract: An electrical discharge machining apparatus having an improved bed which provides improved control over the gap between a machining head and a workpiece by reducing the amount of deformation produced in the bed when the table and saddle are moved. The bed is constituted by an upper plate and side plates, with saddle guide rails being disposed on the upper plate, a saddle movably mounted on the saddle guide rails, table guide rails mounted on the saddle, and a workpiece-supporting table movably mounted on the saddle guide rails. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the saddle guide rails are positioned at the edges of the upper plate, directly above the side plates of the bed. In another embodiment, reinforcing members are provided under the upper plate, extending parallel to and directly under respective ones of guide rails.

Abstract: In an encased electric motor within a casing, an electrically insulating varnish is applied by vacuum impregnation to the inside surfaces of the casing and to the outer surface of the stator of the motor. The remaining empty space within the casing is filled with a heat conducting gas mixture comprising approximately 60-90% by volume of helium, with the remaining percentage being an electrically insulating gas having better electrically insulating properties than helium, such as sulphur hexafluoride. This encased motor is much lighter than conventional encased motors in which the stator enclosure is filled with a heat conducting resin potting compound and avoids warping damage which frequently occurs in conventional encased motors due to thermal expansion of the heat conducting resin potting compound.
