Abstract:
A brushless AC motor has a rotor, N stator pole group, and plural loop-configuration stator windings. The rotor has magnetic poles with alternating N poles and S poles circumferentially disposed at equal interval. The stator has plural stator poles divided to N stator pole groups. Each group is formed circumferentially on the stator with each of adjacent pairs of the groups mutually differing in circumferential position by a desired amount. The stator windings are formed circumferentially on the stator, with each winding disposed immediately adjacent to a corresponding one of the stator pole groups, with respect to a rotor axis direction. As an example, the stator pole has an approximate parallelogram shape in which a top side and a base side of the stator pole in axis direction of the stator has an approximately same width in rotational direction, and the positions of the top side and the base side is shifted in rotational direction to each other.
Abstract:
A first member has a magnet assembly that includes at least one permanent magnet pair, and a second member includes an electromagnetic coil. A control circuit controls the supply of power to the electromagnetic coil as well as regeneration of power from the electromagnetic coil. The permanent magnet pair generates its strongest magnetic field along a magnetic field direction on homopolar contact planes where first magnetic poles contact one another, outward from the center of the permanent magnet pair along the magnetic field direction. The electromagnetic coil is positioned such that current will flow in a direction intersecting the magnetic field direction.
Abstract:
A wireless encoder system facilitates operation and control of a motor, such as linear motor. The system includes an encoder sensor moveable with a first part of the motor. The encoder sensor is operative to sense movement of the first part relative the second part and provide an encoder signal having an electrical characteristic indicative of the sensed movement. A transmitter, which is associated with the encoder sensor, is operative to transmit a wireless transmitter signal based on the encoder signal. A remote receiver that receives the wireless transmitter signal thus may determine position and/or movement of the first part of the motor relative to a second part of the motor.
Abstract:
A rotary electric apparatus comprises a rotor including a first and second rotor members, a stator including a first stator and second stator members with armature coils to which armature current is supplied for synchronous rotation. The first and second rotor members are formed into a skewed type. Control means for controlling amounts Φ1 and Φ2 of field magnetic flux generated by the first and second rotor members, respectively, such that the amounts Φ1 and Φ2 differ from each other to reduce a difference between a maximum amplitude of a predetermined-order harmonic component F1 of an electromagnetic force caused by a pair of the first rotor member and the first stator member and a maximum amplitude of the predetermined-order harmonic component F2 of an electromagnetic force caused by a further pair of the second rotor member and the second stator member is reduced.

A built-in motor type spindle device comprising a housing and a spindle, wherein said spindle device further includes static pressure bearings which support the spindle so that the spindle can rotate freely relatively to the housing, two lines of magnetic field generating members which are provided on the spindle, and two pairs of coils which are provided on the housing and respectively face the magnetic field generating members and since the spindle device circumferentially disperses the which magnetic field generating members generate heat, the spindle device can prevent the spindle from being hot locally and further, since the surface area of the magnetic field generating members on the spindle are made larger, they can be cooled more effectively than one line of magnetic field generating members.
Abstract:
In a motor stator, teeth radially project from an annular stator core, and a plurality of slots formed between adjacent teeth are skewed. Phase windings alternately pass through slots having different skew directions, wherein the length of bridging portions, which do not contribute to generation of torque, is short and the length of the portions which are located in the slots, and which contribute to the generation of torque, is long. Further, the phase windings are bent at an obtuse angle at opposite ends of the bridging portions.
Abstract:
A permanent-magnet rotating machine includes a rotor having a rotor core carrying on a curved outer surface multiple permanent magnets arranged in two rows along an axial direction. The permanent magnets in one row are skewed from those in the other row in a circumferential direction by a row-to-row skew angle (electrical angle) θe. A stator having a tubular stator core in which the rotor disposed, includes stator coils for producing a rotating magnetic field for rotating the rotor. A lower limit of the row-to-row skew angle θe larger than 30 degrees (electrical angle). A ratio, of cogging torque occurring in the absence of skew to cogging torque occurring when the permanent magnets are skewed, at a row-to-row skew angle of 30 degrees is calculated based on the cogging torque ratio, the row-to-row skew angle θe, and B-H curve properties of the stator core. An upper limit of the row-to-row skew angle θe is not larger than the maximum value at which the cogging torque ratio does not exceed the calculated cogging torque ratio at 30 degrees.

An electrical machine having a machine output rating. The electrical machine including a shaft rotatable about an electrical machine axis, a rotor coupled to the shaft and rotating with the shaft, and a stator including a stator core. The rotor is configurable to include a first rotor portion having a relation to a first output rating and a second rotor portion having a relation to a second output rating. The stator core is configurable to be disposed adjacent to the first rotor portion relative to the machine axis when the machine output rating corresponds to the first output rating and adjacent to the second rotor portion when the machine output rating corresponds to the second output rating.
