Circumferentially Spaced Poles And Magnets Patents (Class 310/154.36)
  • Patent number: 11239730
    Abstract: A rotating device according to the present invention includes a motor including an outer shell, a rotating shaft protruding from the outer shell, a first inner bearing supporting the rotating shaft, and a second inner bearing supporting the rotating shaft, a plurality of gears configured to transmit rotation of the motor to an external device, and a casing. A first outer bearing and a second outer bearing are arranged at the casing, and the first outer bearing and the second outer bearing rotatably support portions of the rotating shaft protruding from end surfaces at both sides of the outer shell in a longitudinal direction of the rotating shaft.

  • Patent number: 8138648
    Abstract: A motor comprises a stator and a rotor (20) disposed within the stator. The stator comprises: a housing (31) having a polygon cross section that comprises a plurality of side portions (32a-32d) and a plurality of curved corner portions (33a-33d), each of the corner portions connect two adjacent side portions and curve around a center (O?) which is offset from the rotational center (O) of the rotor; and a ring magnet (34) fixed to the inner surface of the housing. An air gap (37) is formed between a peripheral surface of the rotor (35) and an inner surface of the ring magnet (34). The thickness of the ring magnet at portions corresponding to the corner portions (33a-33d) of the housing being larger than the thickness of the ring magnet at portions corresponding to the side portions (32a-32d) of the housing.

  • Patent number: 8076815
    Abstract: Electrical machines having pole teeth which can be equipped with a permanent magnet are intended to be capable of being assembled more easily. Provision is made for this purpose for two pole tooth halves (1,2) to be provided for each pole tooth, each of which two pole tooth halves has two opposing end sides. At least one end-side plate (3), which connects in each case one end side of the two pole tooth halves (1,2) to one another, is used for forming a pocket (5) between the two pole tooth halves (1,2), into which pocket a permanent magnet can be inserted. A space for the permanent magnet can therefore be kept free during assembly of the pole tooth or during winding thereof. Since the permanent magnet only needs to be inserted into the pocket (5) relatively late, the entire assembly process can be simplified.

  • Patent number: 7851957
    Abstract: A magnetic bearing assembly for a rotatable support apparatus includes a first stationary section, a second section disposed on the first section and a shaft member secured to the base section and passing through the first section. The shaft member defines an axle for rotation for the first section wherein the magnetic bearing assembly is defined by at least one pair of magnets disposed in relation to the shaft member, the at least one pair of magnets including magnetic face surfaces aligned such that a repelling field is established between the at least one pair of magnets, wherein the first section is attached to at least one of the magnets.
