  • Patent number: 11979060
    Abstract: A stator assembly for a rotating electrical machine is operatively associated with an internal cooling circuit including a plurality of cooling channels disposed through a stator core. To directed a liquid coolant medium through the stator core without leakage, the internal cooling circuit is formed from a plurality of cooling tubes including linear tubes and elbow tubes. Linear tubes are disposed in the cooling channels and can be expanded with a hydraulic expansion tool to frictionally fit the linear tube therein. The elbow tubes can fluidly couple two or more linear tubes and are disposed proximately beyond the first and second axial end faces of the stator core. To encapsulate the elbow tubes, first and second stator end castings of thermally conductive, electrically isolating material can be cast adjacent the first and second axial end faces.

  • Patent number: 10746275
    Abstract: In an actuator, which can be used, for example, for an electromotive parking brake, and the housing of which is equipped with a gear mechanism, axial and radial bracings of a worm member take place using a bearing bracket, the limbs of which, on both sides, engage the worm member from behind and reach radially beyond its shaft. As seizing protection against a wedging between the worm member and the worm wheel, the bearing bracket can be slightly displaced in the housing. For this purpose, by virtue of the restoring forces exerted by the spring elements, which are then tensioned, the bearing bracket together with the worm member is pushed axially and the worm wheel 20 is turned.

    Abstract: A rotary electric machine includes a stator in which windings are arranged around a plurality of main poles of a stator core, and a hybrid type rotor arranged with an air gap between the stator and the rotor has a step angle for the rotor of about 4.09° and uses metal bearings for supporting a rotor shaft of the rotor. Setting of the step angle for the rotor to be about 4.09° can make a rotation angle of the rotor caused by excitation of the windings by an input pulse signal larger as compared with a typical motor having a step angle of about 1.8°. With this unique arrangement, the rotor can be rotated at higher speeds, increasing the motor efficiency. Therefore, the motor output at approximately the same level as that of a conventional motor can be obtained without keeping the air gap high precision. Due to this, even if inexpensive slide bearings, i.e.

  • Publication number: 20140132109
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine comprises a rotor having an axis of rotation and a stator assembly surrounding the rotor. The stator assembly comprises a plurality of circumferentially arranged stator segments and a plurality of link elements of which at least one link element extends between each of the circumferentially adjacent stator segments. Each link element provides a rigid circumferential connection between circumferentially adjacent stator segments so that the linked stator segments form a torsionally stiff annular stator and also provides a radially flexible connection between circumferentially adjacent stator segments to permit relative movement between adjacent linked stator segments in the radial direction.

  • Publication number: 20140117806
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to arrangements for connecting together elements of an electric motor or generator such as a rotor or stator. The rotor (607) or the stator (601) may each include a first component (605/610) that has a common circumference with a corresponding second component (602/608). In order to connect the first and second components together the first component has one or more recesses or grooves (7/47) distributed around the circumference and the corresponding second component has one or more resiliently deformable protrusions (606/611). The resiliently deformable protrusions are arranged to protrude into the one or more recesses so as to press against side walls of the recesses and resist relative rotation of the first and second components.
