A lightweight superconducting machine suitable for aerospace applications provides a wound-field rotor suspended from a driveshaft by insulating tensile spokes. The resultant reduction in heat transmission allows a cryocooler positioned centrally within the rotor to cool the machine coils through radially conducting straps.

A manufacturing method of fan stator structure includes the steps of providing a fan stator; providing a plurality of coil lead wire holders at an end of the fan stator; and winding lead wires on the fan stator to form coils, and setting and connecting a front end and a back end of each of the lead wires to the coil lead wire holders. The above method eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional fan stator coil winding operation, such as requiring manual twisting and trimming of the lead wire front ends and back ends and leaking of tin solder occurred during welding of the lead wires to a circuit board.

A two-phase stepper motor with a permanent magnet (PM) rotor and a modified hybrid-type stator is provided. The modified hybrid stator can be manufactured even at the smaller motor size because it employs shoeless, straight stator poles without stator teeth and with bobbin coils that are pre-wound outside the motor and easily inserted over each of the stator poles. Each bobbin may be an elongated continuous belt of insulative material with a hollow interior that forms a sleeve that fits around its corresponding stator pole. Conductive wire wound around the sleeve forms the stator coils. Edges of the sleeve may have exterior flanges at radially inner and outer ends of the stator pole to hold windings in place and keep the sleeve from bowing outward. This stator construction allows the motor to be miniaturized so that the PM rotors can be 13 mm diameter or less.

A displacement sensor has a magnetic measuring transducer and at least two sensor units, which are arranged at different positions spaced from each other, the measuring transducer being slidably mounted relative to the sensor units. The measuring transducer is magnetized such that it has a magnetic field which rotates at least partially about an axis of rotation along the measuring transducer, and the axis of rotation of the magnetic field runs parallel to the sliding direction of the measuring transducer. The sensor units are designed to each sense two magnetic measured variables proportionally to the magnetic field strength, both measured variables being sensed by both sensor units.

A method for producing a wire coil. Multiple windings of a ply of the wire coil including an insulated wire are wound onto a coil core of the wire core starting from a first winding up to a last winding. The last winding is hooked in an electrically insulating deflection hook of the wire coil which is fixed with respect to the coil core and the wire is deflected by the deflection hook.

A manufacturing apparatus of an electrical rotating machine includes a coil segment shaping section for shaping a linear wire rod with a predetermined length into a coil segment with a predetermined shape consisting of a pair of slot insertion portions extending substantially in parallel with each other and a linking portion for coupling the pair of slot insertion portions, and a coil assembling section for assembling a coil by circularly arranging the coil segments shaped in the coil segment shaping section. The coil segment shaping section and the coil assembling section are constituted to continuously perform the shaping and the assembling of the coil segment in each coil segment unit, based on control data set depending on a coil to be fabricated.
