A journal bearing includes an oil supply nozzle, having an oil distribution part which extends in an axial direction of the rotation shaft and supplies lubricating oil, and a pad, provided at the rear side of the oil supply nozzle, in a rotational direction of the rotation shaft and supporting the rotation shaft rotatably. The inner periphery face of the pad, which opposes the outer periphery face of the rotation shaft, has an opening side face, in which the radial direction spacing between the inner periphery face and the outer periphery face of the rotation shaft becomes smaller, from the front end face of the pad, located at the front side in the rotational direction of the rotation shaft, toward the rear side in the rotational direction, and between the oil distribution part and the pad, the journal bearing has a bubble discharge path which discharges air bubbles.

A scroll compressor includes a rotor, a stator, a rotary shaft, an end bracket, an orbiting scroll, a fixed scroll, a suction type cooling fan, and a discharge brush. The discharge brush is fixed to the end bracket facing the cooling fan by a fixing member attached in a radial direction relative to the rotary shaft, and one end of which is in contact with the rotary shaft, in a space secured by the clearance.

A generator module includes a housing arranged for mounting to a rear face of an internal combustion engine, a generator stator fixed in the housing, a generator rotor arranged radially inside of the generator stator, and a bearing arranged to support a radial inside of the generator rotor on the housing. The generator rotor may include a rotor carrier and a plurality of stacked plates secured to the rotor carrier. The bearing may be at least partially radially aligned with the plurality of stacked plates.

Magnetic levitation bearing structure includes a cylinder body, a rotating shaft, a motor stator, a motor rotor, an axial bearing, a radial bearing and a displacement sensing device; the displacement sensing device, the axial bearing stator, and the radial bearing stator are directly fixed on an inner wall of the cylinder body.

A motor assembly includes a rolling bearing installed on a rotation shaft between an impeller and a rotor to support a first support of the rotation shaft, and a motor housing having a stator. The motor housing has a gas bearing bracket for accommodating a second support of the rotation shaft disposed at a side opposite to the first support with respect to the rotor. The motor assembly includes a gas bearing assembly in the gas bearing bracket to support rotation of the second support of the rotation shaft. The gas bearing assembly includes a gas bearing for surrounding the second support. The gas bearing is spaced apart from the second support of the rotation shaft to define a gap therebetween when the rotation shaft rotates. The gas bearing assembly includes an elastic member interposed between the gas bearing bracket and the gas bearing to elastically support the gas bearing.

A holder has a protrusion which protrudes from a side surface at a side opposite in an axial direction with respect to a rolling element held in a pocket toward the side opposite in the axial direction. An oil supply hole which penetrates through the holder from the side surface to a surface at a side of the rolling element in the axial direction is formed in the holder. When the holder rotates, the protrusion guides oil into the oil supply hole, and the oil is introduced from the side surface of the holder to the surface on the side of the rolling element.

An air conditioning system including a compressor having a motor; a condenser; an evaporator; a drive providing multiphase, AC output to the motor; a motor braking assembly electrically connected to the drive, the motor braking assembly including at least one switch and at least one braking resistor; wherein the at least one switch is held in an open state by power from the drive; wherein upon disruption of power to the motor, the at least one switch assumes a closed state shorting windings of the motor through the at least one braking resistor.

A rotating body is shorter in radial direction than in axial direction. The inner circumferential surfaces of a first bearing and a second bearing are fixed at an outer circumferential surface of the shaft member. In the axial direction, the outer diameter of the shaft member is substantially the same from a part, of the shaft member, opposing the first bearing to a part, of the shaft member, opposing the second bearing, and the inner and outer diameters of the rotating body are substantially the same from an end part, of the rotating body, on the first bearing side to an end part, of the rotating body, on the second bearing side. In the axial direction, one of stators is disposed at a central part (C1) of the shaft member, one of magnets is disposed at a central part (C2) of the rotating body.

[Object] To provide a permanent magnet electric motor that can be downsized in a rotation axis direction and can also suppress a leakage flux.

[Solving Means] The permanent magnet electric motor includes: a columnar rotor including a permanent magnet portion annularly disposed; a shaft disposed along a rotation axis of the rotor; a cylindrical stator core disposed on an outer circumferential side of the rotor; a main body including a shell integrally formed with the stator core; a bracket attached to one end side of the main body; and a bearing that rotatably supports the shaft. The bracket includes a bearing house portion that stores the bearing, and a non-magnetic portion that is connected to the bearing house portion. The bearing house portion is disposed on an inner diameter side relative to the permanent magnet portion as viewed from an axis direction of the rotation axis, and an edge portion of the bearing house portion on an outer diameter side is covered with the non-magnetic portion.

An axle assembly having an electric motor module, a drive pinion, and at least one rotor bearing assembly. The electric motor module may have a rotor. The rotor and the drive pinion may be rotatable about a first axis. The first rotor bearing assembly may extend between the drive pinion and the rotor.
