  • Patent number: 8901799
    Abstract: A rotor disk for an electric motor including a shaft hole for receiving a shaft of the electric motor, a set of positioning holes around the shaft hole, each configured to receive a positioning pin. The shaft hole and the set of positioning holes are positioned in the rotor disk such that when the rotor disk is set to a rotated position with respect to another similar rotor disk, and the shaft and the positioning pins are penetrated to the respective holes of the two rotor disks, the disks cause a pressing force to the shaft.

  • Patent number: 8836196
    Abstract: Electrical machines, for example transverse flux machines and/or commutated flux machines, may be configured to achieve increased efficiency, increased output torque, and/or reduced operating losses via use of laminated materials, for example laminated materials configured with cuts and/or segmentations. Segmentations may also assist with manufacturability, mechanical retention of components, and the like.

  • Patent number: 8421301
    Abstract: A reinforcement structure for a disc motor being received in the flat space formed at a side of a wheel center for driving the wheel to rotate as it can be activated to perform a rotation movement by the interactions of an electromagnetic field formed from its stators and a magnetic field resulting from its rotator, comprises: a rib structure, arranged inside a shell housing the disc-like stator for enhancing the structure integrity thereof without causing the thickness thereof to increase and thus maximizing the usefulness of the motor's limited space; and a fixing element, for fixing the stators to the inner side of the motor's outer shell for preventing the stators to be deformed by the magnetic force from the permanent magnets mounted on the rotors while preventing the stators from being attracted by the permanent magnets of the rotors, and thus enabling the motor to operate smoothly.

  • Patent number: 8362672
    Abstract: An electric machine having a stator body and a machine housing is provided. The stator body includes a stator ring of generally annular shape and a plurality of stator teeth projecting radially inward. A first bolt hole is defined in either the stator ring or machine housing, and a first receptacle is defined in the other and is coaxial with the first bolt hole. A second bolt hole is defined in either the stator ring or machine housing, and a second receptacle is defined in the other and is coaxial with the second bolt hole. A first counter bore is coaxial with the first receptacle. A first hollow dowel is mated to the first counter bore and the first bolt hole, and defines a first dowel hole, which is coaxial with the first counter bore and the first bolt hole.
