    摘要: There is disclosed a method of monitoring the health of an abradable seal located on a piston of an actuator, the method comprising the steps of: (i) measuring an initial velocity of said actuator piston while said actuator is maintained in a passive condition at an initial time; (ii) operating said actuator; (iii) measuring a subsequent velocity of said actuator piston while said actuator is maintained in a passive condition at a subsequent time; (iv) repeating steps (ii)-(iii) and either: recording or outputting the measured subsequent velocities over time; or determining a health status of said actuator when said subsequent velocity has increased above a predetermined amount.

    摘要: An abradable seal includes an outer ring arrangement and an energiser for urging said outer ring arrangement against an opposing surface, wherein an outermost surface of said outer ring arrangement defines a sealing surface of said abradable seal; wherein said outer ring arrangement is configured such that after a first period of operation said sealing surface suddenly transitions from having a relatively large surface area to having a relatively small surface area, so as to cause a sudden increase in internal leakage across the seal at said transition.

    摘要: A rotor for an electrical machine comprises a rotor body having an external, axially extending magnet receiving surface for receiving at least one magnet thereon, and a flange mounting portion at at least one axial end of the magnet receiving surface. The flange mounting portion has a smaller external dimension (D1) than an external dimension (D2) of the magnet receiving surface so as to form a shoulder between the magnet receiving surface and the flange mounting portion. A magnet retaining flange is mounted over the flange mounting portion of the rotor body and located against the shoulder. The magnet retaining flange is retained against the shoulder by at least one lip of the flange mounting portion of the rotor body which extends radially outwardly over a radially inner portion of the magnet retaining flange. The lip by deforming an end face of the flange mounting portion.
