20100244606 | TORQUE ROTOR AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - Disclosed is a torque rotor and method for manufacturing the torque rotor having an effect of preventing inflow of plastic between a yoke and a magnet during a conventional plastic injection molding process for forming an assembling structure after assembling between the yoke and the magnet, thereby preventing degradation of a roundness of the magnet or damage of the magnet due to the difference in the temperature expansion coefficients, and preventing idle rotation of the yoke and the magnet relative to each other. | 09-30-2010 |
20110012462 | ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINE - Permanent-magnet holding projections provided at end portions of adjacent segment core pieces that face each other have connecting portions at the centers of the permanent-magnet holding projections. Permanent-magnet holding projections included in the segment core pieces that are on either side of the permanent-magnet holding projections having the connecting portions in a thickness direction are provided with receiving portions for receiving bulging portions that bulge in the thickness direction when the connecting portions are bent. | 01-20-2011 |
20110175480 | Magnetic Component Part for a Rotor Assembly - A magnetic component part for a rotor assembly of an electromechanical transducer is provided. The magnetic component part includes a base element having a first side and an opposing second side, a permanent magnet, attached to the base element at the first side, and a mounting structure fixed to the base element at the second side and adapted to be mechanically connected to a support structure of the rotor assembly. The permanent magnet is located in an offset position with respect to a central axis of the mounting structure, which central axis extends from the mounting structure through the second side to the first side. A rotor assembly, an electromechanical transducer and a wind turbine, which are all equipped with at least four magnetic component parts are also provided as well as a method for manufacturing a rotor assembly including at least four magnetic component parts. | 07-21-2011 |
20120181889 | ELECTRIC MOTOR ROTOR SELECTIVELY FORMED OF ONE OF TWO DIFFERENT MAGNETIC UNITS - An electric motor rotor includes a core member having a plurality of locating grooves spaced around the periphery thereof and outer rotation-stopping portions, and a magnetic unit arranged around the periphery of the core member and defining a plurality of magnetic zones corresponding to the space between each two adjacent locating grooves. The magnetic unit can be a magnetic barrel having inner rotation-stopping portions for abutting against the outer rotation-stopping portions of the core member. Alternatively, the magnetic unit can be made comprising a plurality of magnets to form the multiple magnetic zones and a hoop for attaching to the magnets to secure the magnets to the periphery of the core member. Using the core member with the said two magnetic units can make two different rotors that have the common advantages of quick assembly, accurate alignment of magnetic zones and cost-effectiveness. | 07-19-2012 |
20130241336 | ROTOR INCLUDING ANTI-ROTATION FEATURE FOR MULTI-POLE STRUCTURE - A permanently magnetizable rotor having a central rotor structure including a rotor shaft supporting a cylindrical backiron. The rotor further includes a multi-pole structure comprising circumferentially alternating pole elements, and a rotor cover extending longitudinally over the multi-pole structure. The rotor additionally includes an endcap including an engagement surface positioned in engagement with an end of the backiron. The endcap defines first and second anti-rotation features for preventing circumferential rotation of one or more of the pole elements about the backiron. The first anti-rotation feature is configured differently than the second anti-rotation feature and each anti-rotation feature defines a torque transmitting feature for transmitting a torque from different locations on the multi-pole structure. | 09-19-2013 |
20150048707 | RADIALLY ANISOTROPIC RING R-TM-B MAGNET, ITS PRODUCTION METHOD, DIE FOR PRODUCING IT, AND ROTOR FOR BRUSHLESS MOTOR - A method for producing a radially anisotropic ring magnet having at least one axial groove on the inner surface comprises using a die comprising a cylindrical, magnetic core, a magnetic sleeve having an axial ridge in alignment with the groove on the outer surface and disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the core, and an outer, cylindrical die member defining a cavity for forming the ring magnet with the magnetic sleeve, and compression-molding magnet powder charged into the cavity while applying a magnetic field in a radial direction, and a radially anisotropic ring magnet substantially having a composition of R-TM-B, wherein R is at least one of rare earth elements including Y, TM is at least one of transition metals, and B is boron, having at least one axial groove on the inner surface, and magnetized such that centerlines between magnetic poles do not overlap grooves. | 02-19-2015 |
20160164356 | A Rotor For An Electric Motor - A rotor suitable for use in an electric motor or generator. The rotor comprises a hub having a central axis, a plurality of rotor segments and permanent magnets, and an assembly for retaining the segments on the hub. The segments are arranged around the hub to define at least two rings, which are adjacent to each other in the axial direction with a permanent magnet disposed between each of the segments in each ring. The assembly includes a plurality of rods which extend in an axial direction to retain the rotor segments. An intermediate plate is located between each ring of segments through which the rods pass, wherein the intermediate plates and the outer circumferential surface of the hub engage with each other in such a way as to allow the intermediate plates to move axially along the hub. | 06-09-2016 |
