Abstract:
The motor includes: a rotor that includes a rotor core provided with a plurality of permanent magnets in a circumferential direction; and a stator that includes a stator core on which multi-phase stator coils are wound and is arranged facing the rotor with a predetermined air gap therebetween. The rotor has a structure in which the change pattern of magnetic properties of the rotor core or the permanent magnets changes stepwise in the circumferential direction. The stator has a structure in which the distribution pattern of a magnetic field generated by the stator coils with one phase or with a combination of the phases has uniqueness over a whole circumference.
Abstract:
A system includes a first proximity sensor and a controller. The first proximity sensor is disposed in a first location of a stator and configured to transmit a first signal representative of a first distance between the first proximity sensor and a plurality of rotor poles. The controller is communicatively coupled to the first proximity sensor. The controller is configured to derive a first plurality of instantaneous airgaps based on the first signal and to determine a difference between a first instantaneous airgap of the first plurality of airgaps and a second instantaneous airgap of the first plurality of airgaps. The first plurality of instantaneous airgaps includes a first plurality of measurements of gaps between the stator and the plurality of rotor poles when the rotor is rotating.

Abstract:
A permanently excited synchronous machine includes a stator; a winding system arranged in grooves of a laminated core of the stator and forming winding overhangs on end faces of the laminated core, and a rotor connected in fixed rotative engagement to the shaft and having ferrite magnets which extend axially beyond the end faces of the laminated core. The rotor electromagnetically interacts with the stator across an air gap there between during operation of the permanently excited synchronous machine to cause a rotation about an axis of rotation. A flux concentration element is provided radially across each of the ferrite magnets of a magnetic pole and bundles magnetic field lines of the ferrite magnet onto an axial length of the laminated core of the stator. The flux concentration elements and held by a fixing element on the ferrite magnets of a magnetic pole.

Abstract:
An electrical machine, especially permanent magnet machine, is comprised of a stator and a rotor rotatable relative to the stator. The rotor and stator are separated from each other by an air gap. A boundary layer control maintains a desired boundary layer thickness in the air gap. The boundary layer control maintains optimal cooling, which minimizes the electrical machine's overall dimensions while maximizing its power density.
