  • Patent number: 10148141
    Abstract: A motor rotor structure for an electric turbo charger is manufactured at low cost with good quality by fixedly fitting, over a shaft, a rotor core having electromagnetic steel sheets pre-formed as an integrated stack. The rotor structure includes a rotor core which is rotated by a magnetic field formed by a stator in a housing; a shaft configured to rotate a compressor impeller and the rotor core together; and a bearing supporting the shaft. The rotor includes the rotor core including the electromagnetic steel sheets; a stopper portion formed at an intermediate portion of the shaft to restrict axial movement of the rotor core; and a pressing unit which presses the rotor core fitted over the shaft against the stopper portion. The pressing unit prevents a circumferential phase shift between the shaft and the rotor core by a pressing force thereof.

  • Patent number: 8749105
    Abstract: A high-efficiency magnetic inductor rotary machine in which eddy current loss is reduced even if driven at super-high-speed rotation, and a fluid transfer apparatus that uses the same. In the magnetic inductor rotary machines, first and second stator cores are disposed coaxially such that circumferential positions of teeth are aligned, and first and second rotor cores are fixed coaxially to a rotating shaft such that salient poles are offset by a pitch of half a salient pole circumferentially, and are disposed on an inner peripheral side of the first and second stator cores. A salient pole width of the salient poles of the first and second rotor cores is configured so as to be greater than an opening width of slots of a stator.
