  • Patent number: 11005331
    Abstract: The invention relates to an enclosed rotary electrical machine including a cooling system comprising two internal fans (181, 182) fixedly mounted on shaft (160) at both ends of rotor (150). The rotor and stator (190) are contained in an enclosure sealed by two flanges. The fans allow dual air circulation in flux barriers surrounding the rotor magnets and formed by axial recesses running throughout the rotor, and also air circulation in the space created between the internal fans and the inner faces of the flanges comprising fins (113, 123) which orient the air flows created by the fans to capture the heat thereof. External cooling allows the enclosure and the flanges to be cooled, by air or liquid cooling.

  • Patent number: 10873248
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary electrical machine (100) with an integral magnetic sensor (101) of the angular position of the rotor (150). The sensor includes a rotary part (108) with magnet (102) fixed to the end (160b) of the rotation shaft (160) at the rear of the machine, facing a fixed part (103) including Hall effect sensors and mounted on a fixed support (106) connected to the frame of the machine. The machine includes a bearing (104) centered on the axis (X), separating the rotary and fixed parts of the sensor. This bearing, fixed to the shaft and to the metal support of the fixed part of the sensor, and preferably in contact with the rotary part, constitutes a new mechanical reference close to the sensor. The invention provides accurate and robust position information independently of mechanical and magnetic disturbances to which the shaft may be subjected.
