Patent number: 7851951Abstract: The invention relates to a secondary part (2, 3) of a linear electrical machine (5), wherein the secondary part (2, 3) has permanent magnets (11) and a mount (13). The secondary part (2, 3) has spacer elements (9), wherein an installation height of the secondary part (2, 3) is also determined by means of the spacer elements (9). Tolerances of the installation height can be maintained more easily by means of the spacer elements. In a method for manufacturing a secondary part (2, 3) of a linear electrical machine (5), the spacer elements (9) are cast together with the mount (13) on which the permanent magnets (9) are arranged such that the permanent magnets (9) are embedded in the casting compound (15) and the casting compound (15) forms the surface of the secondary part (2, 3) in the region of the permanent magnets (11), wherein the spacer elements (9) protrude out of the casting compound (15) such that part of the surface of the secondary part (2, 3) is also formed by the spacer elements (9).Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2006Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Thomas Hoppe, Markus Jakobi, Hermann Sailer

Patent number: 7777380Abstract: An electric motor has a wound rotor having a shaft, a rotor core, a commutator and windings wound about the rotor core and connected to the commutator. The motor has a stator confronting the rotor; brush gear electrically connecting the commutator to motor terminals; first and second bearings for rotatably supporting the rotor, and an oil collector fitted to the shaft between the commutator and the first bearing for preventing oil migrating along the shaft from the first bearing reaching the commutator. The oil collector is of high temperature material, preferably a metal such as brass, aluminum and steel. The oil collector returns the collected oil to the first bearing.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2008Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Johnson Electric S.A.Inventor: Dieter Rögelein
