| 310156240 | Including a spring mount to adjust a flux | 6 |
| 20090033168 | Load Generating Encoder Wheel - A shaft assembly, includes an elongated shaft and a flywheel mounted to an end of the shaft. An encoder is mounted to the shaft and includes an annular support ring having a radially inwardly extending portion and an axially extending portion extending from a radially outer end of the radially inwardly extending portion. The radially inwardly extending portion defines a spring section which is compressed between the flywheel and the end of the shaft, and an encoder material is disposed on the axially extending portion of the annular support ring. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20100213779 | PERMANENT MAGNET MOTOR OR ACTUATOR WITH FIELD WEAKENING CAPABILITY - The present disclosure relates generally to a permanent magnet, brushless motor comprising a primary rotor having alternating magnetic poles around a circumference, a secondary rotor similar to the primary rotor. The primary rotor may be free to rotate by approximately plus or minus one pole of the secondary rotor. As such, when the two rotor components have opposite polarities aligned, the motor may be in a field weakened state. Generally, the field weakened state may be the normal state of the motor. As a significant load is encountered, the rotors may automatically transition to a non-weakened state wherein similar polarities are aligned on the rotors. A permanent magnet, brushless motor as described herein may be employed at a motor level or integrated into a linear actuator, wherein the rotor of the permanent magnet, brushless motor may include a hollow shaft. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110101811 | Reconfigurable Inductive to Synchronous Motor - A reconfigurable electric motor includes rotatable permanent magnets in a rotor, the magnets having a first position producing a weak magnetic field and a second position producing a strong magnetic field. The motor is reconfigurable from an asynchronous induction motor at startup into a synchronous motor for efficient operation. The motor includes a squirrel cage for induction motor operation at startup with the permanent magnets positioned to product the weak magnetic field to not interfere with the startup. When the motor reaches sufficient RPM, the permanent magnets rotate to produce a strong magnetic field for high efficiency synchronous operation. The permanent magnets are magnetically biased to come to rest in the weak magnetic field position and a centrifugal mechanism holds the magnets in the weak magnetic field position until sufficient RPM are reached for transition to synchronous operation. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110101812 | Electric Motor and/or Generator with Mechanically Tuneable Permanent Magnetic Field - Apparatus and method for tuning the magnetic field of brushless motors and alternators to obtain efficient operation over a broad RPM range. The motor or alternator includes fixed windings (or stator) around a rotating rotor carrying permanent magnets. The permanent magnets are cylindrical and have North (N) and South (S) poles formed longitudinally in the cylindrical magnets. The magnets reside in magnetic conducing pole pieces (for example, low carbon or soft steel, and/or laminated insulated layers, of non-magnetizable material). Rotating the cylindrical permanent magnets inside the pole pieces either strengthens or weakens the resulting magnetic field to adjust the motor or alternator for low RPM torque or for efficient high RPM efficiency. Varying the rotor magnetic field adjusts the voltage output of the alternators allowing, for example, a windmill generator, to maintain a fixed voltage output. Other material used in the rotor is generally non-magnetic, for example, stainless steel. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20130009507 | PERMANENT MAGNET GENERATOR FOR STABILIZING ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE - The present invention relates to a permanent magnet generator for outputting a stabilized electromotive force. More specifically, the permanent magnet generator for stabilizing an electromotive force outputs an electromotive force stably according to the rotation speed of a motor and stabilizes the wave form of the electromotive force to be close to sine waves. | 01-10-2013 |
| 20150318773 | MOTOR - The present invention relates to a motor. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a skew angle is changed according to a load condition so that noise and vibration can be reduced as compared to a conventional motor. | 11-05-2015 |
