    Abstract: An electrical machine includes a stator including a plurality of stator windings; and a rotor in magnetic cooperation with the stator. The rotor includes a plurality of cooling passages extending therethrough, each cooling passage including an inlet for receiving oil and an outlet for discharging the oil. The electrical machine includes a rotating oil distribution member coupled to the rotor, the oil distribution member including a radially inward portion and a radially outward portion, the radially outward portion being disposed adjacent to the inlets of the plurality of cooling passages. A stationary oil delivery nozzle is constructed to discharge oil toward the radially inward portion of the oil distribution member. The oil distribution member is constructed to receive the oil discharged by the oil delivery nozzle, and to direct the oil to the inlets of the cooling passages to cool the rotor.

    Abstract: A rotor assembly includes a rotor member and a plurality of permanent magnets. The rotor member has a hub with a central axis and a plurality of spokes extending radially outward relative to the hub. Each spoke has a radially inward end and a radially outward end. Each spoke also has a body section, a mounting section, and a flux barrier section. The body section extends from the radially outward end towards the radially inward end. The mounting section is interconnected to the hub. The flux barrier section is disposed between the body section and the mounting section and has at least one flux restriction web extending between the body section and the mounting section. The flux restriction web magnetically isolates the body section from the mounting section. A permanent magnet is disposed within each magnet-receiving slot between pairs of adjacent spokes. A motor with the rotor assembly is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A rotor for a permanent magnet motor, including a rotor body having a cylindrical surface having a circumference. A plurality of magnets are disposed on the cylindrical surface at spaced intervals at the circumference, each of the magnets having a base disposed on the cylindrical surface and a top oriented radially away from the base, a sloping front side and a sloping rear side defining with the base and top an isosceles trapezoid shape in a cross sectional plane normal to an axis of rotation of the rotor, the isosceles trapezoid shape being broader at the base. A plurality of magnet retainers, each magnet retainer disposed between a neighboring pair of the plurality of magnets, include angled faces that engage respective front and rear sides of adjacent pairs of the plurality of magnets.

    Abstract: A stator assembly for a rotating electrical machine is operatively associated with an internal cooling circuit including a plurality of cooling channels disposed through a stator core. To directed a liquid coolant medium through the stator core without leakage, the internal cooling circuit is formed from a plurality of cooling tubes including linear tubes and elbow tubes. Linear tubes are disposed in the cooling channels and can be expanded with a hydraulic expansion tool to frictionally fit the linear tube therein. The elbow tubes can fluidly couple two or more linear tubes and are disposed proximately beyond the first and second axial end faces of the stator core. To encapsulate the elbow tubes, first and second stator end castings of thermally conductive, electrically isolating material can be cast adjacent the first and second axial end faces.
