The winding support can be replaced by a printed circuit board as a bearing component of glass-fiber reinforced thermosetting plastics, wherein the printed circuit board includes at least one layer and is connected to the shaft via a metal hub. | 2016-05-05 |
| 20160126797 | MOTOR - A motor, which can reduce a shaft current by a cheap configuration and has a high reliability, is provided. | 2016-05-05 |
| 20160126798 | MOTOR AND AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS - The motor includes a motor body to rotate a shaft by generating a rotating magnetic field; a bearing supporting the shaft; and a bracket being electrically non-conductive, surrounding an outer periphery of the bearing, and supporting the bearing, wherein the bracket is not in contact with any member formed of conductive material at an outer periphery of the bracket. | 2016-05-05 |
| 20160126799 | COOLING STRUCTURE FOR COOLING A STATOR CORE OF A ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE COOLING STRUCTURE - A cooling structure for cooling a stator core of a rotating electrical machine includes: a stator core ( | 2016-05-05 |
| 20160126800 | ELECTRIC DRIVE UNIT - An electric drive unit includes an electric motor having a motor housing which has at least one coolant channel for cooling the electric motor. A power electronic device operates the electric motor and includes an electronic housing having a contact surface which is connected to a mating contact surface of the motor housing. The power electronic device is hereby configured in the absence of a coolant channel and connected to the motor housing in a heat-transferring manner. | 2016-05-05 |
| 20160126801 | MODULARIZED SERVO CASE - A modularized servo case includes a hollow first barrel and a hollow second barrel, each of which has a lower opening at a bottom end thereof. The first barrel and the second barrel have a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion disposed on outer surfaces thereof, respectively. The first and second barrels can be combined together by engagement between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. In this way, the different inner components required for the first and second barrels can be separately installed beforehand by modularization, and then the first and second barrels can be assembled. Therefore, the assembly is preferably convenient and the inner components can be assembled simultaneously, thus enhancing the whole production capacity and efficiency and facilitating the disassembly procedure in the later repair and maintenance operation. | 2016-05-05 |
| 20160126802 | DRIVING DEVICE AND VEHICLE WITH THE SAME - A driving device includes: a motor; a first housing portion housing the motor; a capacitor configured to stabilize a voltage of the DC power input to an input unit; an inverter unit configured to convert DC power into AC power; and a second housing portion housing the input unit, the capacitor, and the inverter unit. The motor includes a motor shaft to be coupled to an external load. The first housing portion and the second housing portion are integrally combined to be arranged along a second direction perpendicular to a first direction in which the motor shaft extends. The input unit, the capacitor, and the inverter unit are arranged in this order along a direction from an end side on a load side to be coupled to an external load toward another end side in the motor shaft. | 2016-05-05 |
