Having Magnetically Coupled Poles Patents (Class 310/216.034)
  • Patent number: 8680739
    Abstract: When a conventional technology is employed, it is difficult to manufacture a magnet row because magnets are disposed so that N-poles face each other while S-poles face each other. Further, magnetic reluctance is increased because a generated magnetic flux obliquely crosses an air gap in which the magnets are disposed. Furthermore, the conventional technology is at a disadvantage in that magnetic flux interference occurs between neighboring magnetic poles. The present invention has been made to address the above problems and provide a rotary electrical machine capable of generating high torque at low speed. The rotary electrical machine includes a rotor disc and an armature. The rotor disc is configured so that plural rectangular magnets whose longitudinal direction crosses the direction of rotor disc rotation are disposed on the rotor disc, and that the polarities of neighboring magnets differ from each other.

  • Patent number: 8237316
    Abstract: An electromotor or a generator for conveying gas and/or liquid media. The electromotor or the generator has a rotor with a rotor magnet. The rotor is surrounded by a stator. The stator has at least one stator groove limited by a stator tooth. At least a part of the stator groove serves as a medium passage opening.

  • Patent number: 8115347
    Abstract: The production effort for electrical machines with pole teeth which are fitted with permanent magnets is intended to be reduced. A permanent magnet is inserted between two pole teeth halves (1, 2) for this purpose. The two halves (1, 2) are connected to one another with an interlock by means of a plastic sheath (4). The plastic sheath (4) results in a dimensionally stable pocket (3), in which the permanent magnet can subsequently be inserted. It is therefore possible to insert the permanent magnet as late as possible during the manufacturing process, thus reducing the overall production effort.

  • Patent number: 7821176
    Abstract: An electric machine has a rotor and includes a first portion that is substantially rectangular and includes a rotor aperture configured to receive a portion of the rotor. A second portion is separate from and connected to the first portion. The second portion is substantially U-shaped and includes a first leg, a second leg, and a base. A first coil surrounds a portion of the first leg and a second coil surrounds a portion of the second leg.
