The rotatable assembly includes a rotor and a rotor shaft extending substantially axially through the stator bore. The explosion proof motor includes a frame configured to at least partially surround the stator. The frame defines an interior and an exterior of the motor. The explosion proof motor also includes at least one end shield positioned at an end of the frame and a bearing cap positioned proximate to the interior side of the end shield. The explosion proof motor also includes a flame path gap defined between the end shield and the bearing cap. The flame path gap includes at least one section that extends substantially parallel to the rotor shaft.
Abstract:
The inventions is an explosion proof housing cover seal. The cover seal includes a housing and a cover, where the housing has an interior and an opening into the interior defined by a housing sidewall. The housing sidewall have a threaded portion. The cover has a sidewall with a cover threaded portion that mates with the housing sidewall threaded portion. The cover sidewall includes a circumferential cover bevel portion, and the housing sidewall has a matching circumferential housing bevel portion, where the two bevel portions contact circumferentially when the cover is sealingly engaged with the housing opening. The explosion proof housing cover seal further has a seal channel to contain a seal member. Each of the bevel portions has a proximal end, and the bevel proximal ends are positioned adjacent to the seal channel when the cover is sealingly engaged with the housing opening.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a machine arranged to operate in explosive environments, comprising a rotatable shaft (16) extending through a stationary part (10) of said machine, a gland (20) which is mounted in said stationary part (10) and which is provided with a through hole in order to accommodate said rotatable shaft (16) such that a flame path is provided between the rotatable shaft (16) and the gland (20). The invention is characterized in that the machine comprises dampening means (42) arranged between and separates the gland (16) and the stationary part (10) in the axial and radial directions such that a flame path (50, 56) is provided, the dampening means (42) maintaining the flame path (50, 56) and permitting axial and radial movement of the gland (20) in relation to the stationary part (10) upon rotation of the rotatable shaft (16).
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for electrically connecting a power cable to an explosion-proof electric motor having an electric motor housed within an explosion-proof motor housing. The electric motor has a plurality of motor conductors used to couple power to the electric motor stator. The explosion-proof motor housing has an opening and a connection housing securable to the explosion-proof motor housing to seal the opening. The connection housing has an internal volume to house the slack portions of power cable and motor conductors and the electrical connection formed between the power cable and the motor conductors.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a structure for preventing a flame of an alternator for a vehicle which is capable of preventing an explosion due to the spark and a flame from being transferred to the engine room by forming the flowing path and discharging a fine dust of the brush without changing the structure of the brush assembly formed of a holder cap and a brush holder, Which are detachable. In the structure for preventing a flame of an alternator for a vehicle, the brush assembly includes a brush holder receiving a brush and a holder cap detachably engaged to the brush holder, and a first flow way is formed in an upper portion of the brush holder and the holder cap for passing through the air flown through an inlet hole formed in a sealing member, and a second flow way is formed at a side portion of the brush holder and the holder cap in an alternator for a vehicle which is formed of a brush assembly having a brush contacting with a slip ring inserted onto one end of a driving shaft installed in a front housing and a sealing member provided at a lower portion of the brush assembly, a flame prevention structure for an alternator of a vehicle.

Abstract:
A bearing 12 is provided on the end portion of a housing 30. This bearing 12 supports a shaft 14. A magnetic circuit 15, 16 for driving the shaft 14 is provided between the shaft 14 and the housing 30 with a gap 29 passing through in an axial direction. An entry route R1 for leading gas from the outside of the housing 30 to the gap 29 in the magnetic circuit 15, 16 and an exhaust route R2 for exhausting the gas to the outside of the housing 30 are provided so as not to reach the bearing 12. As a result, the lifespan of the electric motor can be lengthened, the startup time can be shortened, the number of parts can be reduced, the number of steps required for processing and assembly can be reduced, and the power loss can be decreased.
Abstract:
A heat resistant and explosion-proof permanent magnetic synchronous motor having a stator which includes an armature iron core made by piling up steel plates with surface covered with a mineral insulation material and disposed on an inner peripheral surface of a pressure case, an armature coil made by winding a wire covered with a mineral insulation material around a slot of the armature iron core, a can hermetically sealing the armature iron core, a back-up sleeve supporting the can at a portion where the armature iron core is not provided, and a slot piece of a mineral insulation material supporting the can at an opening portion of the slot. The motor also includes a rotor including a magnetic yoke connected to an outer peripheral surface of an actuating shaft provided to penetrate the pressure case and rotatably supported thereon, a plurality of rotor magnetic poles disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the magnetic yoke, and a non-metallic case covering an outer peripheral surface of the rotor magnetic pole.
Abstract:
An internal pressure explosion-proof system by which an electric motor or the like is not rendered operative until after gas in an airtight vessel is replaced with certainty by protective gas. The internal pressure explosion-proof system includes a gas flow detector provided in an exhaust pipe for detecting an amount of protective gas exhausted from an airtight vessel in which an electric appliance which may produce a spark or fire is accommodated, and a controller for enabling operation of the electric appliance when a flow amount detected by the gas flow rate detector when protective gas is fed into the airtight vessel reaches a predetermined level and the internal pressure of the airtight vessel exceeds another predetermined level.
