    Abstract: An improved configuration for an electric motor has an inner rotor and an outer stator wherein each stator coil is arranged radially outwardly of its respective stator pole and configured to create a magnetic flux path forming a closed magnetic circuit that flows in directions parallel to the longitudinal axis of the motor, rather than circumferentially about the longitudinal axis of the motor. The magnetic flux created by the stator coil is directed from the stator pole, across the air gap to a corresponding rotor pole, and back to the stator pole to form a closed magnetic circuit path. All stator poles are therefore magnetically isolated from each other.

    Abstract: Electrodymamic machine rotating mass, including for example induction motor rotors, stiffness tuning methods include selective orientation and compression of modular tie rod assemblies into through bores formed in the rotor lamination core outboard of the rotor shaft during motor manufacture, repair or refurbishment. Stiffness tuning enables a motor manufacturer to tune a rotor's rotordynamic stability, and hence the assembled motor's critical vibration speed. Electrodynamic machine rotating mass tuning can be adjusted in response to machine physical design, operational application and manufacturing variation attributes that impact the assembled machine's critical vibration frequency. Thus the present invention offers a systematic, holistic approach to motor vibration refinement through use of a simple kit of modular tie rod assemblies oriented and tightened in a selected array. Rotor stiffness tuning can be tested virtually on computer work stations.

  • Patent number: 7847458
    Abstract: The motor includes a cylindrical rotor core, a plurality of magnets axially penetrated in the rotor core, a pair of separation-preventing plates installed at both ends of the rotor core, and at least one fixing member to fix the separation-preventing plates to the rotor core. The fixing member includes a rod portion extending in an axial direction of the rotor core to be disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the rotor core, and supporting portions bent from both ends of the rod portion and used to support the separation-preventing plates. The separation-preventing plates can be fixed to the rotor core by the fixing member disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the rotor core. The fixing member has no risk of hindering the flow of magnetic flux generated from the magnets, resulting in an improvement in the performance of the motor.

  • Patent number: 7821177
    Abstract: A laminated core includes a laminated body, clamping plates and holding members. The laminated body includes a plurality of amorphous alloy plates, which are stacked one after another in a stacking direction such that each adjacent two of the plurality of amorphous alloy plates directly contact with each other. The clamping plates contact opposed end surfaces, respectively, of the laminated body in the stacking direction. A thickness of each of the first and second clamping plates in the stacking direction is larger than that of each of the plurality of amorphous alloy plates. Each holding member contacts with the clamping plates and maintains a predetermined space between the clamping plates while the laminated body is clamped between the clamping plates.

  • Patent number: 7723892
    Abstract: A synchronous motor includes multiple coil segments, each of which has an iron core in the form of a core stack that is wound with a coil. The coil segments are characterized in that the coils press fastening elements having at least two legs against two opposite surfaces of the substantially right parallelepiped iron core. In each case, at least one leg of the fastening element abutting against the iron core is pressed against the iron core, and at least one free leg of the fastening element projects away from the iron core. The free legs are fastened to connecting elements that connect multiple coil segments to one another.

  • Patent number: 7687964
    Abstract: An electric motor has a field assembly, such as a stator, for a dynamoelectric machine has field coils that are wound to a net shape. Lead wires are brought out from the ends of each field coil. The field coils are insulated with insulating sleeves or insulating slot liners. The field coils are assembled with stator core pieces, such as pole pieces and return path pieces, into the stator. The stator core pieces are formed prior to being assembled with the field coils. In an aspect of the invention, the pole pieces and return path pieces are separately formed and then assembled together with the field coils, which have also been separately formed.
