Abstract:
An electric motor including a permanent-magnet rotor having embedded magnets held in place by several segments. The embedded magnets are secured by segments including non-circular openings near their centers. Several non-magnetic, non-conductive bars extend through the non-circular openings of the segments to secure the segments in relation to the shaft. The motor is capable of producing high torque while only requiring a minimum amount of space.
Abstract:
A low cost, polyphase spindle motor for a hard disk drive comprises a base, a cup-shaped rotating hub for mounting at least one rotating data storage disk, a bearing assembly mounted between the base and the hub enabling rotation of the hub relative to the base, and a cylindrical permanent magnet mounted to an inside cylindrical wall of the hub and defining a plurality of circumferentially alternating magnetic poles. A single ferromagnetic sleeve is mounted to the base and forms one element of the bearing assembly. The sleeve defines a plurality of generally U-shaped stator armature assemblies fixed with respect to the base, each stator armature assembly comprising a top stator disk of ferromagnetic material, a bottom stator disk of ferromagnetic material and a cylindrical portion of the ferromagnetic sleeve magnetically coupling the top disk portion and the bottom disk portion, the stator armature further including a coil between the top stator disk and the bottom stator disk, each stator disk defining a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart stator pole ends being in number related to the number of poles of the permanent magnet, the pole ends of the bottom stator disk being angularly displaced from the pole ends of the top stator disk by a predetermined first electrical angle, the pole ends of the stator disks of each of the plurality of armature assemblies being electrically angularly displaced from the pole ends of at least one of the stator disks of the other of the plurality of armature assemblies by a predetermined second electrical angle.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electrical machine having a permanent-magnet-excited rotor. On the perimeter of the rotor, several plate-like or lamellar permanent magnets are arranged for each rotor pole directly at the air gap adjacent to the stator of the machine. Combinations of stator-slotting harmonic fields and harmonic fields based on the division of the magnets that lead to oscillating torques. These oscillating torques are largely suppressed by having the total number of permanent magnets configured on the rotor correspond to a prime number greater than three.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a laminated core for a dynamo-electric machine, having a shaft and a plurality of core sheets with through holes in the center thereof for inserting the shaft therethrough and a plurality of slot holes in the peripheral portion thereof. In the same method, there is provided a construction in which the core sheet is punched so that at least a part of scrap sections to be punched and then removed, including the through hole and the slot holes, is formed as a half die-cut portion, the half die-cut portion formed on the core sheet being fitted to another adjacent core sheet. After the plurality of core sheets are laminated together, the shaft is forced through the through holes and at the same time the half die-cut portions are removed. Therefore, an integration of core sheets is obtained after die-cutting, thereby resulting in easier handling. Further, since the resulting laminated core does not have any joint portion between each of the core sheets, eddy current is reduced and rotation efficiency is improved.

Abstract:
A stator lamination allows the construction of a d.c. motor having minimum cogging torque and maximum horsepower. Each stator lamination comprises a ring of ferromagnetic material having a number of (e.g., eight) inwardly-extending integral teeth. Each tooth has a radially-inwardmost surface with side end terminations, the side end terminations of adjacent teeth being spaced from each other to define a first set of slots. A V-shaped radially-outwardly extending slot is formed in each of the radially-inwardmost surfaces between the side end terminations, to define a second set of slots (if eight teeth are provided, a total of sixteen slots are provided). The teeth have thin stems which may be wrapped with a large amount of copper wire material. The laminations are disposed in a concentric stack with each lamination skewed with respect to an adjacent lamination.

A pair of sizing means are operable for disposition in confronting and predetermined radially spaced apart relation with the outer circumferential surface and a plurality of tooth tip rows defining an inner circumferential surface of the core between the opposite end faces thereof, and the outer circumferential surface and the tooth tip rows of the core are displaced generally radially inwardly thereof into sizing engagement with the sizing means thereby to effect the predetermined sizing of the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the core in response to the compressing of only the outer circumferential section of the core by the opposed die means, respectively.
Abstract:
A method for forming an edgewise wound core from a lanced strip of generally thin ferromagnetic material. The lanced strip includes a pair of sets of segments extending generally lengthwise thereof with the segments of one of the segment sets being integrally interposed between the segments of the other of the segment sets, and a set of salient pole teeth are integral with the segments of the one segment set extending generally laterally therefrom. In practicing this method, successive segments of the other segment set are successively and independently edgewise constrained, and the salient pole teeth and segments of the one segment set are unconstrained. Only the edgewise constrained segments of the other segment set are edgewise deformed, and the unconstrained salient pole teeth and segments of the one segment set are maintained in their original lanced configurations.A method of operating apparatus for continuously forming edgewise wound cores is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An A.C. alternator includes laminated stator core with an tubular frame formed from a plate member which is wrapped tightly about the core and with the opposed end edges of the frame plate welded to the core. The stator laminations having a square perimeter with the corners rounded with a radius of the final core diameter. The corner portion are further provided with a control welding notch and a plurality of circumferentially distributed openings. The laminations are stacked in rotated relation to form the core with a true constant diameter. Each lamination is rotated in the same direction of rotation for 120 degrees relative to the adjacent laminations. The multiple openings in the corner portions are constructed and arranged such that the rotating laminations aligned the similar openings and define a plurality of unobstructed axial cooling passages. The laminations are rotated to establish skewed elongated slots, central notches and air flow openings. At least one of the corners is especially formed with two offset portions with a rigid bar welded to the inner recess and defines a frame connection surface. A weld bar is secured to the inner bar and outer recess in axial alignment with the core axis. The frame plate is wrapped with the seam aligned with the weld bar and the frame welded in place.
