  • Publication number: 20080044308
    Abstract: A casing with housing space for retaining a first gear and a second gear in a condition where the tooth tips and both side surfaces slide, comprises a main casing which retains the first gear in a manner which allows rotation but restricts movement in the axial direction, and a gear holder which can move in the rotating shaft direction in the main casing and which rotatably retains the second gear. The main casing contains a biasing member which applies a biasing force to bias the gear holder to one side in the rotating shaft direction, and a piston which is acted on by hydraulic pressure and presses the gear holder on the other end side in the rotating shaft direction to counteract the biasing force. The gear holder is acted on by the hydraulic force from the piston to counteract the bias from the biasing member and moves in the rotating shaft direction according to the hydraulic force so that the engagement width between the first gear and the second gear which is retained by the gear holder is changed.

  • Patent number: 4409507
    Abstract: A winding technique for multiphase machines is presented that utilizes a core of Q slots and P poles for M phases where Q/M is an integer but the number of slots per phase per pole Q/M/P is a non-integer expressible as a fraction N/D reduced of common factors and M and D have a common factor of at least two. Fractional-slot, nearly but not quite balanced, windings are provided by providing a distant coil grouping for D poles in which the number of coils in the coil groups for the D poles equals N for an individual phase and the pattern is repeated for the additional poles to provide the total of P pole windings. The near balancing of the windings succeeds in achieving sufficient voltage balancing and low torque harmonics for successful operation and is advantageous for avoiding a need to provide additional core designs.
