Having Wedge Between Pole And Core Patents (Class 310/216.082)
  • 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: 8058763
    Abstract: A permanent magnet rotor arrangement that is particularly suitable for low-speed large-diameter electrical generators includes a rotor 2 having a radially outer rim 4. A circumferential array of magnet carriers 12 is non-releasably affixed to the outer rim 4 of the rotor and have a radially outer surface. An inverted U-shaped pole piece retainer 18 made of non-magnetic material such as stainless steel is affixed to each magnet carrier 12 and is formed with an axially extending channel. At least one pole piece 16 made of a magnetic material such as steel is located adjacent to the radially outer surface of each magnet carrier 12 and in the channel formed in its associated pole piece retainer 18.

  • Patent number: 7936102
    Abstract: A rotating machine with a permanent magnet rotor that is easier, lower cost, and lighter includes a plurality of permanent magnet assemblies (20) mounted on a rotor body (1). The magnet assemblies (20) are mounted via magnet holders that each include a pair of claws (2, 3) connected by a bridge (5) and forming a seat for a respective magnet assembly (20). The claws have terminal expansions (11) that extend beyond the bridge (5) and form a second seat in which a tightening section (9) is received. The claws (2, 3) can elastically pivot about the bridge (5) when the terminal expansions (11) are squeezed together or forced apart, allowing insertion of and securing the magnet assembly, respectively.

  • Patent number: 7880361
    Abstract: The manufacturing effort for producing electrical machines with pole teeth which are fitted with permanent magnets is intended to be simplified. The permanent magnets are inserted into the pole teeth only at the end of the manufacturing process, for this purpose, with the pole teeth each comprising two pole teeth halves (1, 2). An insertion device (3) which may be in the form of a frame is arranged between the pole teeth halves (1, 2). The insertion device (3) is used to keep a space free for the individual permanent magnets during the assembly process. By way of example, this allows the pole teeth to be wound without permanent magnets interfering with this manufacturing step. Permanent magnets are finally inserted into the insertion devices.
