Abstract:
A system of providing a mechanical soft start of a load driven by an electrical motor is provided. The system includes, in addition to the rotor driven by the electric motor during normal operation, a drive belt coupled to both the electric motor and the rotor for communicating mechanical power from the electric motor to the rotor. The system further includes a secondary motor, and a primary roller coupled to the secondary motor, wherein the roller is selectively engaged with the drive belt during a mechanical soft-start to communicate mechanical power from the secondary motor to the rotor without requiring mechanical power from primary motor.

Transport apparatus for circumferentially transporting objects (22) along a circumferential transport lane (10), in particular, for a printing machine, having—at least one transport slide (20), to which an object (22) is mountable, and at least two processing units (15, 16) for processing an object, which are arranged along the transport lane (10), wherein each transport slide (20) comprises an individual drive (25) for moving the respective transport slide (20) along the transport lane (10), wherein each individual drive (25) includes a stepper motor (25) for moving the respective transport slide (20) along the transport lane (10) and for positioning the transport slide (20) at one of the processing units (15, 16), and that a central control unit (40) is present that is configured, for moving the transport slide (20) and for positioning the transport slide (20) at one of the processing units (15, 16), to output a digital positioning instruction for the stepper motors (25).
Abstract:
An electric machine includes a stator having an outer circumference. Spaced apart first walls are arranged about the outer circumference and provide generally parallel first channels. A second wall adjoins the first wall and is arranged about the outer circumference providing a second channel in fluid communication with the first channels, thus, providing a tortuous fluid flow path about the circumference. The first and second channels have an inner surface. A structure is provided within at least one of the first and second channels. The structure has an outer surface spaced radially outward from the inner surface and at least partially defines the tortuous flow path between the outer and inner surfaces. The stator includes an end turn. An end cap extends axially and radially outward from the stator and provides an enclosure about the end turn in fluid communication with the exit associated with the flow path.

Abstract:
A motor assembly adapted to interchangeably accommodate either a resolver or an encoder. The motor assembly includes a housing having a top portion with a curved recess located therein. A rotatable shaft extends from the recess of the housing. A ring-shaped connector adjacent the shaft is adapted to fit within the recess of the housing. An encoder is connected to the ring-shaped connector and is adapted to allow the shaft to pass therethrough. Accordingly, a motor assembly is provided that may interchangeably accommodate a resolver or an encoder.
Abstract:
An autonomous generation brake assembly comprises a hub acting as a first rotor and defines a receiving space therein by a peripheral wall. A plurality of permanent magnets are arranged alternatively along inner face of the peripheral wall. A stator is received in the receiving space of the hub and includes an armature coils corresponding to the permanent magnets of the hub, and a magnetic coils. A second rotor is rotationally received in the hub and located within the stator for working with the magnetic coils thereby generating eddy current therein for being attracted by the magnetic coils of the stator.
Abstract:
A sealed actuator includes a motor stator having rotation-drive magnetic poles; a motor rotor arranged so as to confront magnetic pole surfaces of the motor stator while interposing a small distance therebetween and rotatably supported through roller bearings; and displacement detecting means for measuring displacement of the motor rotor. A partition wall made of a nonmagnetic metal is disposed in a clearance between the motor stator and the motor rotor, so that the inner space where the motor stator is disposed is hermetically covered. The bearings are disposed at both sides of the partition wall in the axial direction so that the load applied to the bearings are directly received by a housing. At least a part of the partition wall is reinforced by reinforcing members and a mold agent is charged into the space on the motor stator side.
Abstract:
The generator frame includes an inner frame module having openings at opposite ends sufficiently large to permit installation of various elements of the stator core, including the laminations and windings. Separate end cap modules having openings for receiving the rotor, as well as integral pedestal supports, are fabricated separately from the inner frame module and later secured, for example, by bolting, to the inner frame. Upon installation of the rotor, a packaged generator is afforded which can be bolted directly to a foundation at the installation site without an intervening base assembly.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a motor drive device with tacho-generator that can be configured as a back-up motor. This device is designed for the driving of a movable element. It comprises an electrical rotor motor with supply coil, associated with a tachometrical sensor inducing an electrical current in at least one electrical coil, a regulator circuit controlling the speed and the position of the electrical motor as a function of the servo signal delivered by said electrical coil and applied to the supply coil. This device further comprises means to continue the driving of the movable element in the event of the malfunctioning of the electrical motor or of its electrical supply. These means to continue the driving of the movable element are constituted by a failure detection circuit which, in the event of failure, activates switching means to connect the electrical coil of the tachometrical sensor to an electrical supply source. Application: improvement of the safety of a motor drive mechanism.
