An energy conversion device may include a shaft including a first portion and a second portion wherein the first portion of the shaft is configured to rotate relative to the second portion of the shaft. A rotor may be coupled to the first portion of the shaft and a stator may be coupled to the second portion of the shaft. A first one-way bearing may be coupled to the first portion of the shaft and configured to transfer rotational input to the first portion of the shaft in a first direction. A second one-way bearing may be coupled to the second portion of the shaft and configured to transfer rotational input to the second portion of the shaft in a second direction opposite the first direction.

A drive axle for a work machine for driving wheels that are coupled to the drive axle. The drive axle includes a spur gear stage with an input shaft. A differential gear unit couples to the spur gear stage and to the wheels via wheel drive shafts. The drive axle further includes a reduction gear unit with an output element couples to the input shaft of the spur gear stage—and an input element which couples to an output shaft of an electric drive machine.

A motor includes a housing and a metal shield plate. The housing includes a bearing holder. The shield plate includes a shield plate main body and a protrusion that protrudes upward from the shield plate main body. The protrusion has a tubular shape. In manufacturing the motor, the protrusion of the shield plate is inserted into a through-hole in the bearing holder. A working deformation portion is then formed such that an upper end of the protrusion is deformed to contact an upper surface of the bearing holder.

An electrical generator is provided. The electrical generator can include a generator, an electric motor, and a battery. The generator has a rotatable shaft and stationary component and be operatively coupled via a drive belt to the motor, which provides torque to the rotatable shaft of the generator The battery is operatively coupled to the motor. The generator can be operatively coupled to a utility grid via a transformer/invertor that can import current from the utility grid to charge the battery when the utility grid is operating and export current from the generator to a grid connector when the utility grid is not operating.

In at least one illustrative embodiment, a power tool may comprise an electric motor comprising a rotor configured to rotate about an axis, a stator assembly including at least three windings arranged around the rotor, and at least three lugs affixed to the stator assembly, where each of the lugs is electrically coupled to one or more of the windings. The lugs may all be arranged to one side of a plane that passes through the axis. The power tool may further comprise at least three electrical wires, where each of the electrical wires is removably coupled to one of the lugs, and a control circuit configured to supply electrical power to the windings, via the electrical wires and the lugs, to drive rotation of the rotor about the axis.

A capacitor unit (20) includes: a harness side terminal (23) provided in a housing (22) for accommodating a capacitor main body therein and connectable to an electric power harness for supplying DC power from an outside; and a board side terminal (24) connectable to a circuit board from which the DC power is output via the capacitor main body. The board side terminal (24) extends in a plate shape from a base portion (24b) held in the housing (22) toward a distal end portion (24a) connected to the circuit board, and has a notch portion (40) recessed inward of the board side terminal (24) in a width direction between the base portion (24b) and the distal end portion (24a).

A system for load balancing on a multi-phase power line connected to a single phase lateral power line, includes a contactor configured to selectively connect each phase of the multi-phase power line to the single phase lateral power line. There is a phase change device connected in parallel with the contactor and a controller. During the phase change state, the controller connects the input of the phase change device to the multi-phase power line and connects the output of the phase change device the single phase lateral power line. The controller causes the phase change device to output a voltage to the single phase lateral line initially aligned with the first phase and then rotated to align with the second phase and causes the contactor changes connection to the second phase of the multi-phase power line and disconnect the phase change device from the power lines.
