Abstract: A motor or generator assembly including a motor or generator machine and mounting structure supporting the machine on an appliance is provided. The machine presents an axially extending, radially outermost circumferential face and a pair of axially spaced apart, radially projecting axial margins. The mounting structure includes a pair of at least substantially radially extending plates and a base configured for connection to the appliance. The plates extend at least in part adjacent respective ones of the axial margins and at least in part define a machine-receiving space therebetween. The machine is mounted on the brackets so as to be positioned at least in part in the machine-receiving space. The base is positioned at least substantially radially outside the circumferential face of the machine and presents a pair of axially spaced apart side faces, with each of the plates being secured against a respective one of the side faces.

Abstract: A synchronous multipolar brushless machine includes an immobile stator armature and field windings, which are placed concentrically around a shaft and radially inwardly positioned relative to the stator armature, on a power unit carrying disc, so that the field windings and armature windings form a mechanically connected unit which generates an excitation magnetic field, and in which an alternate voltage is generated. The excitation magnetic field is transferred to a rotor via labyrinth shaped first and second air gaps. A multipolar rotating magnetic field is generated around the stator armature while the synchronous machine is operated, thereby magnetizing the rotor. In order to reduce magnetic flux resistance, a ferromagnetic tolerance ring is inserted in each first and second air gap. Alternatively, a ferrofluid is provided in each first and second air gap, which significantly increases the magnetic conductivity.

A head of each of the teeth has an extended portion extended in the sliding direction. At least heads of the teeth arranged at both ends of the armature core along the sliding direction is divided into a plurality of areas along the stacking direction. At least one of extended portions arranged on adjacent areas is extended by a different length along the sliding direction.

Abstract: A reluctance machine includes a stator and a rotor. The stator and rotor have a same number of poles. The rotor is configured to rotate about an axis of rotation. Each stator pole is formed of a primary stator pole and an auxiliary stator pole. The auxiliary stator pole is axially aligned with the primary stator pole in the direction of the axis of rotation. Each rotor pole has a length extending in the direction of the axis of rotation sufficient to at least partially cover the primary stator pole and axially aligned auxiliary stator pole. The primary stator poles are actuated with an alternating magnetic field orientation, and the auxiliary stator poles are also actuated with an alternating magnetic field orientation. The field orientations for the primary and auxiliary stator poles are, however, opposite each other such that a primary stator pole its axially aligned auxiliary stator pole have opposite magnetic field orientations.

The weld portions of the blocks have a depth fusion extending at least up to a tensile region where a tensile stress of the stator core is generated.

Each stator magnetic pole in the first stator magnetic pole group is apart from that in the second magnetic pole group by electrical angle ?/2 in the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A wind turbine generator produces alternating current. The generator contains an inner cylindrical stator and an outer cylindrical rotating housing. The stator has a transverse row of molded magnetic flux members mounted on its exterior wall and a metal conductor running through a continuous transverse channel defined by the flux members. The rotating housing has a transverse row of permanent magnets mounted on the interior wall of the outer cylinder. Rotation of the housing causes the permanent magnets to induce magnetic fields in the flux members that induce an alternating current in the metal conductor.
