A dynamoelectric machine that has at least one rotor component proximate a stator that is axially displaceable from the stator in response to pressure of lubrication oil delivered to its lubrication system has a system for changing axial displacement of each axially displaceable rotor component from the stator to cause a corresponding change in rotor-stator magnetic flux interaction, comprising: a hydraulic pump for generating a flow of lubrication oil; and means for regulating the flow of lubrication oil to the machine to develop a corresponding lubrication oil pressure that controls axial displacement of each axially displaceable rotor component.

A rotor for a brushless permanent magnet generator/motor comprises a retention slot extending into a rotor flange for receiving a root of a permanent magnet. The retention slot comprises a base extending axially into the rotor flange, a pair of side walls extending radially from the base, and a pair of lugs projecting from the side wall to engage the root to provide radial and tangential retention of the permanent magnet. In other embodiments, the permanent magnet is further restrained in the axial direction by a spring pre-loaded axial retention ring.

A bearing failure detector for an electrical generator includes a disc located within the bearing assembly near the location of the main bearings. The disc includes an electrically conductive ring encased in an insulation layer. The ring is exposed along inside diameter of the detector disc adjacent to the periphery of the shaft, but the dimensions of the inside diameter of the ring are slightly greater than the normal internal clearance of the main bearings, so that the shaft does not contact the ring unless the bearings are significantly worn. The detector ring is connected to a resistor with a large resistance which is monitored by a control circuit at all times. When the internal clearance of the main bearings has been enlarged by a predetermined amount, the ring contacts the shaft, changing the resistance monitored by the control circuit. This causes the control circuit to provide an indication that the bearings need replacement. The detector eliminates the need for preventive replacement of bearings at scheduled maintenance periods when the bearings may not actually need replacement because they are not sufficiently worn, saving service time and costs. Auxiliary bearings are provided to support the shaft when the shaft has contacted the detector, providing safe operation of the generator for a sufficient period of time after a bearing replacement indication has been provided until the bearing assembly is replaced.

A dynamoelectric machine comprises a first rotor shaft, a second rotor shaft and a central element. The first rotor shaft rotates about a central axis of the machine and has a first magnetic drive element disposed about an outer circumference of the first rotor shaft. The second rotor shaft rotates about the first rotor shaft and has a second magnetic drive element disposed about an inner circumference of the second rotor shaft. The central element is disposed between the first rotor shaft and the second rotor shaft and is configurable to remain stationary while the first rotor shaft and the second rotor shaft rotate about the central axis. The central element also includes a third magnetic drive element for interacting with the first magnetic drive element, and a fourth magnetic drive element for interacting with the second magnetic drive element.

The problem of effectively and quickly detecting fault conditions in an electromotive machine (10) is solved using a current transformer assembly (28) having a neutral lead (44). The neutral lead (44) comprises a single piece copper strap (80) having laterally extending strips or posts (81-83) provided for connection to the neutral end conductors (31-33) of armature windings (22 and 24). The strap (80) is punched and bent into shape to include the three neutral posts (81-83). Each neutral post (81-83) carries a current transformer (46-48).
