Abstract:
A synchronous electric motor having a structure for reducing cogging torque generated by the positioning error of a permanent magnet. Protrusions are alternately arranged in regions A and B in the circumferential direction of an iron core. Therefore, with respect to neighboring magnets positioned on both sides of the first protrusion, in region B, where the protrusion does not exit, ends of the neighboring magnets are attracted to each other by magnetic force. On the other hand, with respect to the neighboring magnets positioned on both sides of the second protrusion, in region A, where the protrusion does not exit, ends of the neighboring magnets are attracted to each other by magnetic force resulting in being inclined in opposing directions, and thus the generated cogging torque is significantly reduced.

Abstract:
In this winding structure for a rectangular wire, a coil is formed that is provided with: a core that forms a core main body; a teeth portion that is formed extending inwards in a radial direction from the core; and a jaw portion that is formed extending in a circumferential direction from a distal end on the inner side in the radial direction of the teeth portion, and in which a rectangular wire is wound in multiple layers around a slot that is formed surrounded by the teeth portion, the core, and the jaw portion. The ellipticity, which is a ratio of a width dimension relative to a thickness dimension of a cross-section of the rectangular wire, becomes larger as it is wound from inner layers of the coil towards outer layers thereof, and the ellipticity of the rectangular wire in each of the layers is set in accordance with the width dimension of the slot in each layer of the coil such that the generation of gaps between the slot and the rectangular wire is suppressed.

A motor includes a rotation shaft, a stator, and a rotor. The stator includes an armature winding and a stator core including a main core portion with an axial stack of core sheets and a magnetic plate on an end thereof. Each core sheet includes a tooth formation portion around which the armature winding is wound. The magnetic plate includes a stacked portion and an axially extending portion. The stacked portion stacked on the axial end of the main core portion and includes an end located toward the rotor. The axially extending portion extends toward the outer side in the axial direction from the end of the stacked portion located toward the rotor and is opposed to the rotor in a radial direction of the motor. The axially extending portion is shaped to be magnetically skewed in a circumferential direction relative to the tooth formation portion and the stacked portion.

A rotor with four axially stacked rotor cores, and a plurality of field magnets interposed between them. Each rotor core includes a rotor-side claw-shaped magnetic pole. Each rotor-side claw-shaped magnetic poles are respectively extending from and formed on each rotor core at equal angle intervals. Tip end surfaces of the first and third rotor-side claw-shaped magnetic pole abut against or are closely opposed to each other axially. Tip end surfaces of the second and fourth rotor-side claw-shaped magnetic poles abut against or are closely opposed to each other in the axial direction. The plurality of field magnets are magnetized in the axial direction such that the field magnets causes the first and third rotor-side claw-shaped magnetic poles to function as first magnetic poles, and cause the second and fourth rotor-side claw-shaped magnetic poles to function as second magnetic poles.
Abstract:
An electric machine is formed by a stator and a rotor that is free to rotate about an axis of rotation. The stator may have teeth projecting from a body portion and that define slots for housing electrical windings. The rotor may have a rotor core and a number of magnets supported on a peripheral face of the rotor in substantially contiguous arrangement and of alternating magnetization. The rotor magnets are shaped so that pairs of adjacent magnets oppose one another along magnetic boundary lines that are skewed relative to the slots formed in the body portion of the stator. For example, the shape of the rotor magnets may be arcuate trapezoidal or parallelogramatic. In this configuration, cogging torque experienced by the rotor during operation of the electric machine may be reduced.

Apparatuses employing suspended rotors are provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a housing forming an internal cavity and a rotor disposed in the internal cavity of the housing. The rotor has a first end and a second end. The apparatus also includes a first end ring coupled to the first end of the rotor and a second end ring coupled to the second end of the rotor. The first end ring and the second end ring are each magnetically repulsed from the housing to cause the rotor to be suspended relative to the housing.
Abstract:
An electric machine includes a plurality of teeth separated by a plurality of slots positioned on an armature of the electric machine. Each of the teeth may include at least one bifurcation. A plurality of magnets may be arranged on a main field of the electric machine to form an axial array group. The magnets in the axial array group may be arranged in the main field with respect to each other to create a multi-stepped arrangement having a predetermined step angle. The step angle is determined based on the positioning of the bifurcations and the slots.
