A ring element includes a convex, in particular rounded, surface element for arrangement on at least one axial end region of a winding section of an electric motor rotor. The surface element provides a minimum radius curvature for supporting an inner layer of a rotor winding on the winding head. An insulating lamination element for an electric motor rotor onto which a rotor winding is intended to be wound includes the ring element. An electric motor, in particular a universal motor, includes a rotor with a rotor winding having the ring element. An electric machine tool, in particular a handheld electric machine tool such as an angle grinder, a drill, a saw or the like, includes the electric motor.

Annular portions of a first interphase insulting sheet have void portions. After a U-phase coil is inserted in wave winding, bridge portions are mounted to slots for an adjacent V-phase coil. The void portions are formed at positions corresponding to the bridge portions that are disposed between any two of coil ends. The annular portions are stretched to form a generally pentagon shape, which facilitates mounting of the V-phase coil. The void portions formed at positions that do not need insulation will not impair the insulating function of the first interphase insulating sheet. The void portions formed in alignment with extension of the bridge portions will not cause a drop in the strength of the annular portions.

A power supply ring includes bus rings which are provided for each phase of a rotating machine having a plurality of stator coils arranged side by side in an annular shape and extends in a circumferential direction to extend along the plurality of stator coils; power supply terminals for each phase which electrically connect the bus rings to a power source side; and a plurality of coil connection terminals which electrically connects the bus rings to each of the stator coils of the same phase, in which each of the bus rings is concentrically laminated on an annular body including the plurality of stator coils in an axial direction.

An assembly can include a housing that includes opposing ends, a longitudinal axis, an axial length defined between the opposing ends, a maximum transverse dimension that is less than the length and an interior space; circuitry disposed at least in part in the interior space; and a coated electrical conductor electrically coupled to the circuitry where the coated electrical conductor includes an electrical conductor that includes copper and a length defined by opposing ends, a polymeric electrical insulation layer disposed about at least a portion of the length of the electrical conductor, and a barrier layer disposed about at least a portion of the polymeric electrical insulation layer.

An apparatus including a frame, an optical sensor connected to the frame, and an environment separation barrier. The frame is configured to be attached to a housing of a motor assembly proximate an aperture which extends through the housing. The optical sensor comprises a camera. The environment separation barrier is configured to be connected to the housing at the aperture, where the environment separation barrier is at least partially transparent and located relative to the camera to allow the camera to view an image inside the housing through the environment separation barrier and the aperture.

An electrically insulating composition comprising about 25 to about 55 percent by weight of filler materials, about 45 to about 75 percent by weight of resin. The percentages being selected such that the total percentage of components does not exceed 100 percent. The composition has a thermal conductivity of about 0.2 to about 1.3 W/m-K when measured at 130° C.

In an example, a method includes interacting electric fields from charges in conductors in different inertial reference frames to effect motion. The example method implements the mathematical framework that divides electric fields from charges in different inertial reference frames into separate electric field equations in electrically isolated conductors. The example method may implement the interaction of these electric fields to produce a force on an assembly that can, by way of illustration, propel a spacecraft using electricity without other propellant(s).
