An electric motor is provided including a stator and an armature rotatably received within the stator, the armature having an armature shaft on which a commutator is mounted. The motor also includes a brush assembly having a brush card mount disposed around the commutator, a brush holder mounted on a surface of the brush card mount, and a brush disposed within the brush holder in sliding contact with the commutator to supply electric current to the commutator. A back surface of the brush includes at least one curved surface and a groove. A torsion spring is secured to the brush card mount adjacent the brush holder, the spring having a leg arranged to engage the groove of the back surface of the brush.

An electric motor includes a stator, an armature shaft rotatable with respect to the stator, and a lamination stack mounted on the armature shaft and having radially extending teeth forming slots therebetween circumferentially around a periphery of the lamination stack. An armature end insulator is provided at an end of the lamination stack having a base portion fitted around the armature shaft and insulating teeth corresponding to the radially extending teeth of the lamination stack and forming slots therebetween. Motor coils are wound in the lamination stack slots and the end insulator slots. The motor further includes a fan having blades attached to a fan ring and mounted to an end of the lamination stack. The fan ring includes longitudinally-extending tongues arranged to be mounted at the end of the lamination stack and the end insulator includes a plurality of longitudinally-extending notches corresponding to the tongues of the fan ring to allow the tongues to be in direct contact with the end of the lamination stack.

An electric motor includes a stator, an armature rotatably received within the stator and having an armature shaft on which a commutator is mounted, and a brush assembly defining a first surface facing the stator and a second surface opposite the first surface. The brush assembly includes a brush card mount disposed around the commutator, brushes in sliding contact with the commutator to supply electric current to the commutator, and thermally-conductive brush holders. Each brush holder a base portion disposed substantially along a same plane as a surface of the brush card mount to form the first surface of the brush assembly, and a main portion protruding from the second surface of the brush assembly to house a respective brush. The base portions of the brush holders are exposed on the first surface of the brush assembly to transfer heat generated by the brushes through the first surface of the brush assembly.

A transmission for a vehicle is disclosed which includes a casing defining a first cavity and a second cavity inside the casing. A platform is at least partially disposed inside the casing to separate the first and second cavities. The platform defines a plurality of first apertures arranged together to define a first group. An interface assembly includes a first support and a plurality of first connectors attached to the first support to define a first bundle. The first support is selectively attached to the platform to position the first bundle relative to the platform such that each of the first connectors are disposed in respective ones of the first apertures of the first group. The first connectors are coupled to a power inverter module and a first motor/generator through the first apertures of the platform to electrically connect the power inverter module and the first motor/generator to each other.

A power conversion and distribution system. In one embodiment low voltage source components convert a high voltage AC power source to a relatively low voltage supply and provide a direct current output. First superconductor wires carry current from the low voltage source components to a load, and second superconductor wires carry current from the load to the low voltage source components. Individual ones of the first wires are grouped with individual ones of the second wires so that wires connected to carry current in opposite directions are in such sufficiently close proximity that additives of self-fields generated by individual ones of the wires during power transmission result in reduction of the magnetic fringe field generated, thereby increasing the current carrying capacity of the wires.

A vacuum extraction system is provided for extracting contaminants from rotating electrical devices. In an exemplary embodiment, the vacuum extraction system extracts conductive dust from the current collection system of a synchronous generator with a static excitation system. As the brushes (24) of the static excitation system wear against the collector rings (26), they produce conductive dust, which if permitted to accumulate, may cause electrical shorts and arcing and severe damage to the rotating electrical device. Methods and systems consistent with the vacuum extraction system of the present invention extract conductive dust from a rotating electrical device through vacuum passages (50, 62, 67, 72, 77) in the rotating electrical device into a removable dust capture media (46) to prevent dust accumulation and possible electrical damage. The vacuum passages of the vacuum extraction system may comprise, for example, nozzles (50), through-holes (62) in a brush (60), grooves (67) in a brush (65), through-holes (72) in a brush holder (70), or grooves (77) in a brush holder (75).

The invention concerns a brush system for a commutated DC motor. As the brush wears, different cross-sectional shapes, at different positions, come into contact with the commutator. The center of contact for each cross-sectional shape can be different, thereby changing brush angle as wear occurs. The change in brush angle can be desirable, in order to offset other effects which occur as a result of wear. For example, motor speed can change as a result of brush wear. Changing brush angle can offset the change in speed.
