The spacers are press-fitted inside openings formed by the end windings and the teeth, so that the end windings are covered by the sheet of the press-fitted spacer in the direction of an air gap of the electric motor in each case.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2013Publication date: April 10, 2014Inventors: Guillaume Mougin, Christophe Dehouck, David Panet

Patent number: 8692430Abstract: A motor assembling method provides a base with a shaft tube. The shaft tube has a thermoplastic positioning portion on an opening end thereof, and a shaft tube assembly is disposed into the shaft tube via the opening end. The motor assembling method further heats the thermoplastic positioning portion by a heating fixture to melt and deform the thermoplastic positioning portion until the opening end of the shaft tube has shrunk. The shaft tube assembly is held in position in the shaft tube after the thermoplastic positioning portion has cooled down and solidified. The motor assembling method further couples a stator unit with an outer circumferential wall of the shaft tube, and couples a rotor with the shaft tube.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2011Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Sunonwealth Electric Machine Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Alex Horng

Patent number: 8664825Abstract: Provided is a molded motor that hardly causes electric corrosion in bearings and produces less noise and vibration. Electrical continuity between a bracket 51 on an output side and a bracket 52 on a counter output side is secured by a conductive plate 60 having elasticity. Therefore, since the conductive plate 60 is unlikely to be cut off by an external force and does not change significantly with time, the electrical continuity between the bracket 51 on the output side and the bracket 52 on the counter output side is hardly interrupted. Accordingly, since a difference in potential between the bracket 51 on the output side and the bracket 52 on the counter output side hardly occurs, electric corrosion is hardly caused in a bearing 41 on the output side and a bearing 42 on the counter output side.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2012Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Fujitsu General LimitedInventors: Tsugiyoshi Ono, Kazuyoshi Watanabe
