Patent number: 7923873Abstract: In an electromagnetic actuator including a bearing member which slidably supports a variable core, a yoke for retaining a coil assembly by cooperation with a bottom wall of a housing is connected to the housing, and the bearing member is fitted into the yoke. A support for supporting an outward-facing flange formed at one end of the bearing member is mounted on the bottom wall, and a set spring for biasing the outward-facing flange toward the support is mounted under compression between the outward-facing flange and the first yoke.

Patent number: 7919890Abstract: A rotating electric machine, comprising a stator, a rotor, a case storing the stator and the rotor, and an oil pump. Oil discharge ports are formed at the terminal part of an oil discharge passage of the case, and a cooling oil is supplied to the upper cutout parts of the stator.

Publication number: 20100264758Abstract: An electric motor (20) has a stator (30) and a rotor (26). The latter is equipped with a cup-like rotor part (56) and with a ring magnet (60) adhesively bonded therein, which magnet has an outer circumference (61) on which are provided elevations (84) and depressions (86) that extend at least partly in the longitudinal direction of the ring magnet (60). The outer circumference (61) of the ring magnet (60), that faces toward the cup-like rotor part (56) after assembly, is formed with at least one opening or channel (68; 69, 88), extending in a circumferential direction, that is connected to at least a plurality of the flat depressions (86). Positive mechanical engagement between adhesive and ring magnet enhances durability, and discourages any tendency toward relative rotation between the magnet (60) and the cup-like rotor part (56).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2008Publication date: October 21, 2010Inventors: Rainer Strohm, Tobias Maier, Volker Hildebrand, Juergen Pfaff, Arno Karwath

Patent number: 7814641Abstract: A method of forming a power tool includes forming and balancing an armature by securing a lamination stack having slots therein on an armature shaft securing a commutator on one end of the armature shaft, winding magnet wires in the slots in the lamination stack and securing ends of the magnet wires to the commutator, and molding plastic to at least partially encase the magnet wires in plastic and forming a balancing feature. Plastic is removed from the balancing feature during dynamic balancing of the armature. The armature is then disposed in a stator to form an electric motor and the electric motor is disposed in a power tool.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2006Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Black & Decker Inc.Inventors: Hung T.

Patent number: 7812484Abstract: To improve resistance of a motor device against an organic solvent and to suppress degradation in performance of the motor device with time. In a motor device, an excitation magnet is formed using a hollow-cylinder shaped anisotropic bonded magnet 13. This bonded magnet 13 is press-fitted in a housing 12 and is held. The bonded magnet 13 is formed of a hollow-cylinder shaped anisotropic rare earth bonded magnet which is obtained by compounding an anisotropic rare earth magnet powder with a phenol-novolac type epoxy resin, followed by molding. The anisotropic rare earth bonded magnet 13 is press-fitted along an inner peripheral portion of the housing 12, and on an exposed surface layer of the anisotropic rare earth bonded magnet press-fitted in the housing, a coating layer is formed by an infiltration treatment using a polyamide-imide-based resin.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2005Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Aichi Steel CorporationInventors: Yoshinobu Honkura, Hiroshi Matsuoka, Atsushi Kano, Kenji Noguchi, Hironari Mitarai, Satoru Kan

Publication number: 20100253159Abstract: A permanent-magnet synchronous motor of a draining pump is disclosed. It includes a permanent-magnet rotor for driving an impeller to rotate, a pump body for supporting the permanent-magnet rotor, a stator core and a stator coil. Among which, the stator coil is constructed with an enamelled aluminum wire winding which is coiled by an enamelled aluminum wire and sealed in a container. The invention applies the enamelled aluminum wire to the permanent-magnet synchronous motor of a draining pump. The winding of the stator coil and a welding part of its lead-out wire are sealed with plastic or epoxy resin which effectively isolate them from outside air, especially damp air. Therefore, the invention prevent the enamelled aluminum wire winding of the stator coil and the welding part of its lead-out wire from being oxidized in air and being corroded by the moisture, acid or alkaline matter in damp air.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2008Publication date: October 7, 2010Inventors: Huashan Shi, Yuyang Ma
