摘要： A method of producing a rotor positions a shaft in one of a first mold portion and a second mold portion, and positions a cup in one of the first mold portion and the second mold portion. The first and second mold portions are then mated to form a chamber. Molding material is injected into the chamber to produce a molded part that includes the cup and the shaft. The molded part has a part axis that substantially parallel with the part axis.

摘要： A motor has a stator, a rotor having a shaft, and a sleeve bearing in contact with the rotor shaft. The sleeve bearing also is fixedly secured to the stator. Additionally, the motor also has a movable support member axially supporting the shaft. The movable support member illustratively is movable relative to the shaft. The rotor center of gravity coincides approximately with the opening in the bearing-shaft interface.

摘要： A condensation removal apparatus is disclosed. The condensation removal apparatus is used with a hot water heater wherein the hot water heater produces a fuel exhaust. The fuel exhaust from the hot water heater is provided to a draft inducer through an inlet which includes a thermally conductive plate having a hole through which the fuel exhaust flows. The draft inducer mixes ambient air with the fuel exhaust and reduces the temperature of the mixture as compared to the fuel exhaust. The mixture is directed to an outlet of the draft inducer and through piping into another environment. As the mixture cools, condensation forms within the piping. The condensation drips back down through the draft inducer. The condensation is then directed onto the thermally conductive plate. Since the thermally conductive plate maintains a high temperature, the condensation is turned from a liquid form into a gaseous form and is directed back through the draft inducer to the outlet.

摘要： A fan controller for controlling the rotation of a rotor (with a fan blade) has a current limiting element to control current flow to a capacitive storage apparatus. More specifically, the fan controller has an input for receiving an input voltage, the noted capacitive storage in electrical communication with both rotor circuitry (that controls rotor rotation) and the input, and the noted current limiting element coupled between the input and the capacitive storage. The rotor circuitry is energizable by the input voltage, while, in a similar manner, the capacitive storage is capable of charging by receiving current from the input. The current limiting element at least in part controls current flow from the input to the capacitive storage.

摘要： A magnetizing fixture is provided for connection to an electrical power supply. Electrically conductive elements fit within channels connecting top and bottom surfaces of an electrically conductive core. One end of each electrically conductive element connects to a power supply and the other end to an electrically conductive top. An electrically insulating layer coating the channels and top and bottom surfaces of the electrically conductive core electrically isolates the electrically conductive elements from the electrically conductive core.

摘要： A flat pack blower utilizes surface mounting techniques for mounting the blower electronics on a thin laminated circuit board to reduce the blower profile. To that end, the blower includes a stator, and a rotor rotatably coupled to the stator. The stator includes a coil, a pole coupled with the coil, and a laminated circuit board having blower control circuitry and pads for electrically connecting the blower control circuitry to the coil. Use of surface mounting techniques on the laminated circuit board thus eliminates the discrete electronic components and the wires connecting such components.

摘要： An arrangement for sensing the operating condition of an alternating current machine employs a Hall switch on the stator which is subjected to the alternating magnetic field established during operation. The Hall switch has a magnetic field strength threshhold below which it will not be actuated. During normal operation of the machine, the alternating field strength will cyclically exceed the switch threshhold, thereby generating a series of pulses at the frequency of alternation of the field. Should the field strength decrease as a result of overload of the machine, a decrease in line voltage, or the like, to a level below the threshhold level of the switch, the pulse output of the switch will cease. Circuitry responsive to the absence of periodic pulses actuates an indicator circuit to warn of the faulty operation.
