Abstract:
Mechanisms are provided to control the operation of a motor. In particular, a variable frequency drive motor controller is described which resides within a motor housing. Additionally, the speed at which the motor operates is based on a signal received from a Hall Effect switch or from a communication device in communication with a remote interface. The Hall Effect switch is also described; in particular, the Hall Effect switch features a magnet rotatably connected with one side of a motor housing. A Hall Effect sensor, located on the opposite side of the motor housing, detects the position of the magnet and outputs a signal to the motor controller, located within the motor housing, indicating the detected magnet position. Additional operating features are described relating to the safe operation and control of the motor in potentially hazardous environments.

The fan comprises a first electromechanical module including a wheel supported by a shaft coupled to a driving motor, a second mechanical module including a body delimiting a space for receiving the first electromechanical module in which the wheel and the driving motor are received, and a third electronic module including a plurality of electronic components. The third electronic module includes a housing in which the plurality of electronic components is housed, the housing also comprising a deflagration protection exhaust comprising an upper wall and two inclined walls extending on either side of the upper wall so as to form a space extending substantially axially between the upper surface of the housing and the upper wall in order to allow the discharge of overpressures in case of deflagration.
Abstract:
An improved power tool system includes a power tool and an external power supply connected via a cable to provide utility and safety in a hazardous operation such as loading ammunition into a weapon in an environment of flammable materials and extreme environmental exposure. The power tool includes a sparkless motor, a sparkless controller and sparkless switches, in a sealed enclosure with improved heat transfer means. The power tool has improved torque controlling means to mitigate reaction torque to the operator and equipment when starting or stopping highly inertial loads. A sealed enclosure is provided to prevent liquids from entering the motor and controller cavity and includes a thermally conductive path to conduct heat from the motor and controller through the enclosure to cooling fins and a coolant path formed between the fins and an entrapment wall.
Abstract:
An assembly having an externally threaded pipe nipple with an inserted grommet couples to a motor frame and to a conduit box, supporting the conduit box to the motor frame and providing a pathway for the motor lead through the grommet and nipple into the conduit box. T conduit box configured to house motor lead connections to the incoming power supply. A sealing material, such as a fluid elastomeric material, is poured into the pipe nipple and allowed to cure. The grommet abuts against a stop portion of the pipe nipple, retaining the sealing material. A nut having external threads mates with internal threads of the pipe nipple. As the nut is rotated and tightened, it compresses the sealing material against the inner surface of the pipe nipple and against the motor lead wires, and thus sealing the electrical connections within the conduit box, from the motor and environment.
Abstract:
A method and system of cooling an enclosure or motor is disclosed. An exemplary permanent magnet electric motor is formed with an external stator and an internal rotor. The motor controller is in thermal proximity to the motor but is thermally isolated from the motor by an air chamber. In one exemplary embodiment, one or more heat sinks are provided to create efficient heat removal paths. In another exemplary embodiment, one of more heat pipes are located in the system.
Abstract:
An explosion-proof type rotating electrical machine having excellent cooling and brush powder discharge capabilities. A drive shaft of a rotor is provided with slip rings for supplying current to a field coil, which is energized through brushes capable of activating the field coil by contacting with the slip rings. The brush compartment incorporated with the brushes and slip rings and the outside of the rotating electrical machine are connected with each other through an air suction path, the brush compartment and an inside space of the rotating electrical machine are connected with each other through an air blowing path, in which a flame stifling wire net is provided. When operating the rotating electrical machine in a flammable gas atmosphere, sparks generated due to a contact failure between the brushes and the slip rings ignite the flammable gas filled in the brush compartment to produce flames, the flames then reach the flame stifling wire net by a blowing cool air sucked from the air suction port, where the flames are cooled and extinguished by the flame stifling wire net. Brush powders are discharged to the outside of the brush compartment from the air blowing path by the cooling air.
Abstract:
The present invention includes an improvement to a conventional explosion-proof electric brake motor having a motor housing, an electrical conduit attached thereto, a brake housing secured to the motor housing and having an electrical attached to the brake housing, a flange secured to the motor housing and adapted to secure the motor to a drive mounting for driving a shaft. The improvement comprises a first housing waterproof means inserted between the motor housing and the brake housing. A first conduit waterproofing means is adapted to seal the brake electrical conduit to the brake housing. A second conduit waterproofing means is adapted to seal the motor electrical conduit to the motor housing. A flange waterproofing means is adapted to seal the flange to the motor housing. Thus, the conventional electric brake motor and the waterproofing means form a submersible, explosion-proof brake motor.

An internal pressure explosion-proof construction for an electrically-driven robot with which purging of airtight chambers of the robot in which electric motors are installed can be performed efficiently in a short time when air or inert gas is charged into the airtight chambers. The airtight chambers in which the electric motors are divided into a plurality of blocks, and an automatic opening and closing valve is provided at an outlet port connected to each of the blocks such that it may be opened only when the corresponding block is to be purged.
Abstract:
An electromotor, in particular a drive motor for a barrel or container pump, having an outwardly encapsuled motor housing made of a material having good heat conducting characteristics, such as aluminium. The motor housing is provided on its outer side with a shield of an electrically non-conducting material. The shield is surrounded on its outer side with a mantle which forms, with the housing middle portion, a through-stream gap for the passage of cooling air. This outer mantle includes a pair of housing caps, which overlap the end-support shields of the motor housing, and between which housing caps there extends the mantle which shields the outer surface of the housing middle portion by forming the through-stream gap for the passage of cooling air. The outer shielding of the entire motor housing prevents contact with metallic parts and thereby current conducting parts of the motor by a person servicing the device.
