Abstract:
A permanent-magnet synchronous machine includes a stator that has slots and a rotor that has permanent magnets which form magnet poles. The permanent magnets are shell magnets having two curved surfaces. Each shell magnet covers a predetermined part of a magnet pole. The external radius of the shell magnets is less than 0.6 times the radius of the stator bore. Each shell magnet has a quasi-radial magnetic preferred direction that is directed substantially perpendicular to its outer surface.
Abstract:
To further reduce force ripple of a linear motor, a primary part has a plurality of windings sequentially arranged in an axial direction and subdivided in the axial direction into groups having an identical number of windings. The sequence of the association of the windings with the phases of a multi-phase system is not repeated at least in a group of windings within the primary part as long as the winding sense of the corresponding windings in the group is maintained.
Abstract:
A magnetic radial bearing and a bearing system for supporting a rotating shaft are disclosed. The bearing has a number of electromagnets circumferentially arranged around a rotating shaft. Each of the electromagnets has a coil which is electrically connected so as to generate both a magnetic bias and a rotating three-phase field. First terminals of opposing coils are connected in common to a corresponding phase of a three-phase controller for generating the rotating field, whereas second terminals of the coils not connected to the same phase are connected at corresponding star points. The star points are connected to DC power for generating the magnetic bias.
Abstract:
In a three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous machine, a pole gap and a skew of permanent magnets on the rotor are designed such that oscillating torques which are caused by the fifth and seventh harmonics of the stator field and of the rotor field are mutually reduced. In particular, the skew can be chosen as a function of the pole gap, such that the majority of the respective oscillating torques is neutralized. This results in minimal torque ripple.
Abstract:
A secondary part of a linear drive, in particular of a cylindrical or planar linear drive, has permanent magnets arranged on a soft-magnetic mount in perpendicular relationship to the movement direction of the linear drive. The permanent magnets are curved at least on the surface facing the primary part. The permanent magnets cover each only a predeterminable part of a magnetic pole and have a radial magnetization direction in relation to their outer surface.
