Abstract: A rotating electric machine includes coil bodies formed as a first stator winding wound on first teeth, other coil bodies formed as a second stator winding wound on second teeth, and yet other coil bodies formed as the first stator winding and the second stator winding wound on third teeth. A phase difference between an electric current in the first stator winding wound on the third teeth and an electric current in the second stator winding wound on the third teeth is set so that respective phase differences of magnetomotive forces of the other coil bodies in three phases with respect to respective magnetomotive forces of the coil bodies in three phases and respective phase differences of magnetomotive forces of the yet other coil bodies in three phases with respect to respective magnetomotive forces of the other coil bodies in three phases are 20 degrees in electric angle.

Abstract: An electric machine includes a stator assembly defining a longitudinal axis. The stator assembly includes a substantially cylindrical stator core that is concentric with and extends longitudinally along the longitudinal axis. The stator core includes a stator pole having an inner surface spaced radially outward from the longitudinal axis. The stator pole includes a first aperture extending radially outward from the inner surface of the stator pole. The electric machine also includes a rotor assembly rotatable about the longitudinal axis. The rotor assembly includes a rotatable shaft and a rotor core. The rotor core is concentric with and extends longitudinally along the longitudinal axis. The rotor core also includes a rotor pole including an outer surface spaced radially outward from the longitudinal axis. The outer surface is spaced radially inward from the stator pole inner surface.

Abstract: A single-phase outer-rotor motor includes a stator and a rotor surrounding the stator. The stator includes a stator core and windings wound around the stator core. The stator core includes a yoke and a plurality of teeth. Each of the teeth forms a tooth tip at a distal end thereof. A slot opening is formed between each two adjacent tooth tips. The rotor includes a housing and a permanent magnet affixed to an inside of the housing. The permanent magnet forms a closed ring in a circumferential direction. The permanent magnet forms a plurality of magnetic poles along the circumferential direction. An outer surface of the stator and an inner surface of the permanent magnet define there between a symmetrical uneven gap. A width of the slot opening in the circumferential direction is less than or equal to five times of a minimum width of the gap.

Abstract: A rotating electric machine includes a stator having a stator coil and a rotor provided rotatably around a specific rotation axis with respect to the stator. The rotor includes a plurality of magnets, a plurality of magnetically-assisted salient pole members provided between poles of any adjacent two magnets from among the plurality of magnets, and a magnetoresistance variation unit provided in the magnetically-assisted salient pole member along an axial direction of the rotation axis at a position offset in a circumferential direction of the rotation axis from a q-axis passing through a salient pole center of the magnetically-assisted salient pole member. The amount of offset of the magnetoresistance variation unit from the q-axis varies depending on positions of the magnetically-assisted salient pole members so that torque fluctuations cancel each other when power is applied.

Abstract: In a method for producing a stator winding of a stator, an auxiliary element is positioned with its central axis in alignment with a central axis of the stator. Bobbins are arranged on the auxiliary element in uniformly spaced-apart relationship around the central axis of the auxiliary element, and a circuit carrier is arranged on the auxiliary element radially inside the bobbins. Coils are formed by winding a conductor wire for each phase of the stator winding onto a corresponding one of the bobbins and routed via the circuit carrier to another one of the bobbins of this phase and wound thereon. Each of the bobbins is pivoted with the coils about a pivot so as to enable the bobbins to pivot up onto radially outwardly protruding stator teeth of the stator from radially outside.

Abstract: A rotating electrical machine has a rotor composed of laminations having salient poles. The poles have one or more holes which are positioned so as to reduce the peak stress experienced by the laminations when the rotor is rotating. The holes are chosen according to a disclosed design procedure which gives a reduction in peak stress for a given limit on the output of the machine.

Abstract: An electrical machine rotor includes a flux-conducting portion and a flux-inhibiting portion. The flux-conducting portion is conducive to conveying an electromagnetic flux and has a plurality of salient rotor poles and a portion of back material. The flux-inhibiting portion is less conducive to conveying an electromagnetic flux than the flux-conducting portion and is disposed entirely outside the boundaries of the rotor poles.

Abstract: A rotary electric machine includes a stator having stator windings; and a rotor rotatably disposed in the stator, said rotor having a rotor core provided with a plurality of magnets and a plurality of magnetic auxiliary salient poles formed between poles of the magnets. In this rotary electric machine: a magnetic air gap is provided in an axial direction of the rotor in a position shifted in a circumferential direction from a q axis passing through a center of the magnetic auxiliary salient pole within the magnetic auxiliary salient pole; and an amount of shifting the magnetic air gap from the q axis in the circumferential direction differs according to a position of the magnetic air gap in the axial direction so as to cancel torque pulsation in energization caused due to the magnetic air gap.
