Abstract:
A plurality of strips formed with tooth portions and core back portions is punched from a single band of sheet steel. Next, a plurality of strips is stacked such that the tooth portions line up together and the core back portions line up together and the stacked plurality of strips is integrated to form a strip lamination. Then, the strip lamination is wound spirally and the wound strip lamination is integrated to obtain a stator core.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a low cost, high performance, thin structure rotary motor for driving medium used in magnetic disk drive unit, optical disk drive unit or the like, in order to improve the productivity of terminating processing and the reliability of the coils. Magnetic materials which are divided to a plurality of blocks or divided corresponding to respective magnetic pole teeth are connected by means of thin portions. The respective magnetic pole teeth are wound continuously with wire without cutting the wire at the positions in which the thin portions are connected. When a stator is assembled, a plurality of blocks or magnetic pole teeth are disposed on a substrate by separating or bending the thin portions.
Abstract:
A device for constructing a laminated article, in particular for electrical use, having mutually superposed metal laminations provided with elements or clips for connecting the laminations together. The clips project from the surface of the laminations and are formed by deforming the laminations. The laminations include cavities, each arranged to house a clip, whereby the cavities and clips constitute coupling elements of male-female type. The clips are punched from a metal strip in a first station, die-cut and stacked in a second station and coupling cavities are formed in a third station which may be the same as the first station.
Abstract:
A rotor core is formed from a stack of laminations. The core includes a plurality of generally circular laminations in a stacked formation one on top of each other. Each lamination defines an axis collinear with an axis of each other lamination in the stacked formation. The laminations each have first and second surfaces and the stack is configured to define at least one inner lamination having laminations adjacent to both its first and second sides and outer laminations having laminations adjacent to only one of its first and second sides. Each lamination has a predetermined number of circumferencially equally spaced slots that define conductor receiving regions. Each inner lamination includes at least one interlocking projection extending from one of the first and second surfaces thereof, at a predetermined radial distance from the lamination axis. Each lamination further defines at least one projection receiving region formed therein for receiving a projection from an adjacent lamination. When viewing the laminations stacks parallel to the axis, the projections are engaged in their respective projection receiving regions so as to define a staggered path of projection and receiving region engagements through the lamination stack. This staggered path configuration defines an elongated, tortuous path having a length greater than a height of the stack for eddy currents through the lamination stack, to increase impedance of an eddy current path therethrough.
Abstract:
A substantial saving of material cost and weight is obtained in an induction motor by a rotor including two sets of differently punched laminations. The laminations in one of the two groups each weigh less than 95% of the laminations in the other one of the two groups. Such laminations can be automatically produced on a computer-controlled die press by providing a separate punch pattern that is capable of being programmed for selected laminations. The lighter laminations can be used to counterbalance a crank without requiring additional counterbalancing weight to be added outside the motor.
Abstract:
A laminated article in particular for electrical use including mutually superposed metal laminations provided with elements or clips for connecting the laminations together. The clips project from a surface of the laminations and are formed by deforming the laminations. The laminations include cavities angularly spaced apart from the clips. Each cavity is arranged to receive a respective clip from an adjacent lamination such that the laminations are coupled together via the clips and cavities. The cavities and clips constitute separate coupling elements of male-female type. The cavities are preferably through cavities extending from one planar surface of the lamination to an opposed planar surface.
Abstract:
A rotor (10) includes a plurality of permanent magnets (14) disposed around a shaft (12) at generally equal intervals, and a plurality of laminated core members (16) disposed between the permanent magnets (14) so as to form magnetic poles. The laminated core members (16) are formed by stacking a plurality of core-laminations (26) made of magnetic materials and an integral core-lamination, and joining them to each other. The integral core-lamination includes a plurality of core-lamination sections each having a shape the same as that of the core-lamination (26), and connecting portions (46) for connecting adjacent core-lamination sections with each other. When the large number of core-laminations (26) and the integral core-lamination are integrally joined by a press-fitting process, the laminated core members (16) are connected with each other in such a relative arrangement of a finished assembly that a space for locating the permanent magnet (14) is defined between the adjacent laminated core members (16), and thus an integral laminated rotor core (48) is formed.

Abstract:
In a radial gap dynamoelectric machine a composite stator ferromagnetic structure having reduced losses is formed using thin section metallic glass or electrical steel strips folded or otherwise periodically deflected on one side or another of one or more planes perpendicular to the machine longitudinal axis edge wound to form a ring-like magnetic structure surrounding separate stator tooth assemblies formed of traditional or thin-section sheet or powdered ferromagnetic materials. Alternative structures are described.

An armature comprising a number of core sheets each having a number of slots and wherein a plurality of punched-in recesses for fitting are formed on the tail side of each core sheet and a plurality of punched-out protrusions for fitting provided by punching in said plurality of recesses are formed on the top side thereof, both by press-working; the core sheets being laminated by pressing the number of core sheets whereby said plurality of protrusions for fitting on the top side of each core sheet press-fit to said plurality of recesses for fitting on the tail side of a contiguous core sheet thereby positioning and integrally laminating the number of core sheets; wherein a plurality of protrusions for clearance each having a very small height are formed on the top side of each core sheet thereby providing a very small clearance between two of the contiguous core sheets.
