Abstract:
A permanent magnet electric machine with reduced cogging torque includes a plurality of axial rotor sections that are defined on a radially outer surface of a rotor. The axial rotor sections include a set of permanent magnets that are in an unmagnetized state and that have opposite edges that are aligned with an axis of the rotor. The axial rotor sections are rotationally offset such that the edges of the permanent magnets create stair step interfaces. The n sets of permanent magnets are magnetized using a magnetizing fixture. The permanent magnets have a generally rectangular shape and are preferably arc magnets or breadloaf magnets. The conductors of the magnetizing fixture are aligned with the stair step interfaces. A magnetic field induced in the permanent magnets is substantially reduced along the stair step interfaces.

A bearing receives the shaft for rotatably mounting the rotor. A stator assembly is mounted on said bearing and includes a bobbin mounted generally coaxially with the rotor shaft and having an interior diameter, an exterior diameter, a first axial end and a second axial end.

Abstract:
A laminated rotor for an induction motor has a plurality of ferro-magnetic laminations mounted axially on a rotor shaft. Each of the plurality of laminations has a central aperture in the shape of a polygon with sides of equal length. The laminations are alternatingly rotated 180° from one another so that the straight sides of the polygon shaped apertures are misaligned. As a circular rotor shaft is press fit into a stack of laminations, the point of maximum interference occurs at the midpoints of the sides of the polygon (i.e., at the smallest radius of the central apertures of the laminations). Because the laminates are alternatingly rotated, the laminate material at the points of maximum interference yields relatively easily into the vertices (i.e., the greatest radius of the central aperture) of the polygonal central aperture of the next lamination as the shaft is inserted into the stack of laminations. Because of this yielding process, the amount of force required to insert the shaft is reduced, and a tighter fit is achieved.
