  • Patent number: 8421318
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine is provided in which, even when torque from a water turbine is reduced and reverse torque is applied due to load cut off, a rotor core is not eccentric to spider arms. The rotor of a rotating machine includes a vertical rotating shaft, spider arms extending radially from the vertical rotating shaft, and a rotor core component provided to the outer circumference of the spider arms. A T key and cotters are inserted into and secured to a key way provided to an abutment surface of the inner circumference of the rotor core component and the top end of the spider arm. A plate spring is mounted to a surface of the spider arm, the surface facing a rotational direction for electrical generation. The plate spring has one side engaging the spider arm, the other side engaging the rotor core component, and a middle portion bolted from an opposite surface of the spider arm.

  • Patent number: 8324781
    Abstract: A rotating electric machine includes: a stator and a rotor, wherein the rotor includes a rotor core in which rotor plates punched from roll formed magnetic steel plate are laminated, and a spider that retains the rotor core; the rotor plates and the rotor core include a plurality of keys arranged in their inner circumference contacting with the spider; the spider includes a plurality of keyways arranged in its outer circumference contacting with the rotor; a plurality of keys of the rotor core and a plurality of keyways of the spider are formed in such a manner that they fit with each other; and the plurality of keys of the rotor core and the plurality of keyways of the spider fit in a combination that renders a weight imbalance of the rotor core due to lamination of the rotor plates and a weight imbalance of the spider cancel each other.

  • Patent number: 8138654
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a stator mounting kit that includes multiple radial adjustment shims having different thicknesses from one another. The stator mounting kit also includes multiple stator alignment adapters having different circumferential alignments between a keybar mount and a spring bar mount. The stator mounting kit is configured to enable radial and circumferential alignment between each spring bar and respective keybar in a stator framework via selection of one of the stator alignment adapters and selection of one or more of the radial adjustment shims.
