    摘要: A method for securing metallic first and second parts together includes positioning filler metal along an interface between the first and second parts. The first and second parts are inserted into a fixture such that at least one of the first and second parts engages the fixture. The fixture is heated with at least one electrical heating element to heat the filler metal by thermal conduction above a melting point of the filler metal and form metallurgical bonds between the filler metal and the first and second parts. The melted filler metal is cooled to join the first and second parts together.

    摘要: An assembly includes at least one member having first and second ends. A dual metal adapter for connecting to the at least one member includes an inner tube for receiving and contacting the first end of the at least one member and being formed from a first metal having a first resistivity. An outer tube extends over the inner tube and is secured thereto. The outer tube is formed from a second metal having a second resistivity greater than the first resistivity. The first end of the at least one member is metallurgically bonded to the inner tube.

    摘要: A rotor stack for connection to a shaft of a rotary electric machine includes a series of platters each centered about a centerline and including an opening for receiving the shaft such that the platters are stacked along the shaft. Passages extend through the platter and are arranged about the centerline. Permanent magnets are positioned in the passages. Hubs associated with the platters mechanically connect each of the platters to the shaft.

    摘要: A rotary electric machine includes a stator having a circumferentially spaced series of axially extending teeth defining winding slots therebetween. Stator windings are at least partially disposed in each winding slot and electrically connected to form a plurality of phases. One or more slots contain the same magnitude of current at substantially all times for each phase. Structure defines a plurality of elongated coolant passageways disposed in each winding slot. A subset of the coolant passageways contained in the slots for a single phase is an even number. Fluid flows in one direction for half of the subset of coolant passageways and in the opposite direction for the other half of the subset of coolant passageways. At least two of the coolant passageways in the machine are fluidly connected in parallel. At least one of the coolant passageways is located circumferentially between two windings in the same slot.

    摘要: One example includes a rotary electric machine. The device includes at least one sensor. Each of the at least one sensor can be configured to provide a sensor signal in a first data format, the sensor signal providing an indication of a respective one of a plurality of operational characteristics of the rotary electric machine. The device also includes a programmable interface configured to receive the sensor signal from each of the at least one sensor and to translate the first data format associated with each of the at least one sensor into a second data format associated with a respective type of sensor corresponding to the respective at least one sensor and to provide at least one output signal in the second data format. Each of the at least one output signal can correspond to at least one of the operational characteristics.
