  • Patent number: 7990015
    Abstract: Attachments are removably coupled to the magnetic core of a rotating electric machine, the magnetic core being shaped to include a plurality of coil-receiving slots that are separated by radial teeth. Each attachment is constructed as a unitary member and includes a base and a stem, the stem being dimensioned for fitted insertion within a recess formed in the distal end of a corresponding tooth. The base includes a convex bottom wall, a flattened top wall and a pair of non-planar sidewalls. The stem is integrally formed on the top wall of the base and includes a front end, a rear end, a flattened top wall and a pair of opposing sidewalls. A longitudinal groove is formed into each of the pair of opposing sidewalls of the stem. An outwardly protruding shoulder designed for engagement by a retention plate is formed into the front and rear ends of the stem.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 7808149
    Abstract: A segmented electric generator/motor, such as for a wind powered generator, in which the rotor and/or stator is subdivided in the circumferential direction into segments disposed adjacent to one another. Additionally, the stator segments are accessible via and the rotor segments can be installed and removed in the axial direction in rotor segment mounts provided in the rotor ring. Each rotor segment preferably includes a base shaped to prevent radial and circumferential or tangential motion of the rotor segment while permitting axial motion in the rotor segment's respective mount. The rotor ring segment mounts are preferably sized to allow removal of stator segments through the openings.
