  • Patent number: 10923994
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing lamellae for a lamellae package, wherein the lamellae are punched from a metal strip by at least one punching die. At least one part of the contour of the lamella is produced by stream cutting. The method is carried out such that the lamella is still held in the metal strip. The lamella is punched out of the metal strip by the punching die. The stream cutting results in clean cutting edges, which do not require reworking of the lamella. The device for carrying out the method according to the invention has a stream cutting unit upstream of the punching press which has at least one stream cutting head. A wide variety of lamella contours can be cut out of the metal strip with high accuracy using said stream cutting unit.

    Abstract: A laminated spiral core includes core units and a plurality of swage portions. The core units form a rotor core. The core units have permanent-magnet attachment portions in which permanent magnets are to be disposed. Each of the core units has an arc shape. The plurality of swage portions connect the core units by swage-joining when the core units are spirally stacked in a predetermined number of layers. The plurality of swage portions are provided in the core units in a wave-shape to face the permanent-magnet attachment portions and provided at positions where an influence of magnetic flux paths in a rotor is minimal.

  • Patent number: 7868504
    Abstract: A resolver rotor for a variable reluctance resolver includes a plurality of axially stacked rotor pieces. The rotor pieces are jointly fitted into one body. In the fitting of the rotor pieces, deformed portions are provided between a center of the radial thickness of the resolver rotor and a side surface thereof which is opposite to a stator-side surface thereof. The number of deformed portions is the same as that of projecting poles of the resolver rotor. The deformed portions are arranged at circumferential positions of peaks of the respective projecting poles. At those positions, concave portions are provided on the side surface to receive deformations caused by fitting the rotor pieces together. Thus, the stator-side surface of the resolver rotor is less affected by fitting of the rotor pieces together, preventing a reduction in the detection accuracy of the resolver.

  • Patent number: 7859163
    Abstract: The laminar article for electrical use comprises a plurality of superposed first metal laminations fixed together. Each of the first laminations is provided with at least one fastener projecting from a first surface thereof and defining a recess in its opposite side. Each fastener of one lamination is arranged to fit into a recess of an adjacent lamination. The article presents second laminations interposed between at least two adjacent first laminations fixed together. The second laminations are provided with through apertures which are traversed by the fasteners which fix the adjacent first laminations together. The method consists of die-cutting a plurality of laminations from a metal sheet, rotating the die-cut laminations and superposing them, to then fix them together in predetermined manner.

  • Patent number: 7808147
    Abstract: A rotor (3) for a permanent magnet motor has a is rotatable around an axis of rotation (A) and has a plurality of axially extending permanent magnets (6) which are offset circumferentially in a symmetrical manner and arranged, respectively, in receptacles (16) of a yoke (7) which is assembled from axially stacked sheet lamellas (10), with the sheet lamellas (10) each having a coaxial inner hole (9), at least a first recess (8a) which is open toward the inner hole (9), and one second recess (8b) which is closed toward the inner hole (9), and with the lamellas being formed in a rotationally symmetrical manner so as to be offset at least by a phase angle, with at least two sheet lamellas (10) being oriented so as to be offset relative to one another by half of the phase angle.

  • Publication number: 20100219714
    Abstract: A stator core comprises a laminated part made by stacking a plurality of sheet-like plates and one sheet-like plate into an integral unit in a manner to form dimple portions on both surfaces in the stacking direction thereof, and side plates each having extended portions and nib portions formed on a surface opposite the side where the extended portions are provided and disposed in a manner to sandwich the both surfaces of the laminated part, wherein the laminated part and the side plates are fastened together by inserting the nib portions on the side plates into the dimple portions formed on the laminated part.

  • Patent number: 7728468
    Abstract: A lamination has at least one spacing strip which is formed by cutting out sheet-metal pieces from a metal sheet in order to define an inner boundary and an outer boundary of the lamination. A cut line is made in the metal sheet to define a contour for a spacing strip which is bent out of the main plane of the lamination.
