A motor structure comprises a rotor having a driving portion and a magnetic element; the magnetic element being assembled to a lower end of the driving portion; and a stator including an electrode sheet, a coil, and a seat; the coil winding around a stator flame assembling the seat; a magnetic induction portion being protruded from the electrode sheet; and the electrode sheet being installed to the seat. The rotor is pivotally installed to the stator and the magnetic induction portion of the electrode sheet is arranged corresponding to the magnetic element so that after conduction, the coil is interacted with the magnetic element by using phase differences therebetween.

A device such as an electric motor, an electric generator, and a regenerative electric motor includes a plurality of independent energizable electromagnetic assemblies. Each independent electromagnetic assembly has an associated one-piece magnetic core formed from thin film soft magnetic material. Each independent electromagnetic assembly defines two stator poles located at opposite ends of the one-piece magnetic core. Each one-piece magnetic core provides the entire magnetic return path for the two opposite magnetic stator poles associated with each independent electromagnetic assembly.

Abstract:
In order to improve the torque per weight ratio in electrical machines for a lower price it is proposed to use a segmented stator design. The segmented stator design is based on general E shaped cores traditionally used for single-phased transformers and inductors, The E-cores has a coil around the centred leg and is assembled parallel to the rotor axis, which means it will function with the transverse flux principle. A radial flux principle can also be performed with the E-cores if the E-cores are divided into two U-sections with a full pitch winding in between them. A clear extra advantage with the E-cores is short flux paths meaning less steel has to be magnetised. For a low volume production standard E-cores can be used making the investment in production facilities smaller. The E-core machines using the transverse principle can have different pole-shapes such the normal force between the rotor and stator are significantly reduced. This makes unequal designs like a 3 stator- and 2 rotor-pole design practical possible.
Abstract:
An inexpensive, small, high-efficiency actuator having a single-phase claw pole structure permits easy assembly or winding and enables a rotor to act in a fixed direction by detent torque even in a deenergization mode. The actuator includes a stator yoke composed of a pair of substantially circular toroidal planar yokes formed of a soft magnetic material, polar teeth which axially protrude from inner peripheral edges of the respective planar yokes and which are disposed so that they face each other, extending in a circumferential direction, and a stator yoke that has a cylindrical ring provided on outer peripheral edges of the planar yokes; an armature being constituted by installing a coil formed by winding a magnet wire in a coil receiving section shaped like an annular recess formed by the planar yokes, the polar teeth, and the cylindrical ring of the stator yoke; and a stator assembly which has flanges with bearings provided on both end surfaces of the armature and in which a rotor provided with a magnet for a magnetic field composed of a permanent magnet being installed such that it faces the polar teeth of the stator with minute gaps provided therebetween; wherein the number of the polar tooth equals the number N of rotor magnetic poles (N is 2 or 4).
Abstract:
A permanent magnet motor is configured with selective variation of the radial distance between an interfacing pair of rotor permanent magnet and stator pole along the circumferential length of the pair. The effects of cogging torque on the overall torque signature can be controlled by setting an appropriate air gap variation profile. The stator pole and rotor magnet surfaces may be sloped with respect to each other, the angle therebetween being selected to obtain desired cogging torque compensation. Other air gap variation profiles may include provision of concave surfaces, the degree of concavity being selectable.
Abstract:
A rotary electric motor has a stator with a plurality of axially spaced sets of corresponding stator and rotor elements. The stator of each set is an annular ring with poles circumferentially positioned about an axis of rotation. The rotor of each set has a plurality of permanent magnets disposed circumferentially along an annular air gap opposite the stator poles. The permanent magnets of adjacent rotor element sets and/or the poles of adjacent stator sets are offset from each other in the axial direction to cancel the effects of cogging torque produce by each of the sets.
