An electric motor having low vibration and/or noise comprises a rotor or stator comprising permanent magnets each comprising at least two pole pairs, with an internal flux gap within the permanent magnets between adjacent internal pole pairs. The internal flux gap between the internal pole pairs may be similar to an external pole to pole physical spacing between adjacent poles of adjacent magnets. The motor is suitable for use in for example a laundry washing machine or dryer or washer-dryer.

A motor and a cleaner comprising the same. The motor comprises a stator including a stator core; a rotating shaft arrangeable inside the stator; a rotor rotatable about the rotating shaft by electromagnetically interacting with the stator while the rotating shaft is arranged inside the stator; a housing to accommodate the stator and the rotor; and a bearing coupleable to the housing such that while the bearing is coupled to the housing, the bearing allows the stator and the rotor to be stably coupled to each other. While the stator and the rotor are accommodated in the housing, a center of the stator core and a center of the rotor along an extension direction of the rotating shaft is arranged at different positions from each other with respect to the extension direction of the rotating shaft.

A motor drive apparatus includes a motor, a power converter, and a controller that controls the voltage supplied to the motor by the power converter. The power converter converts a voltage of a 400 V-class AC power supply to a voltage with an effective value lower than an effective value of the 400 V-class AC power supply.

A synchronous electrical motor, which may operate poly-phase electrical power, is configured to operate at a rated flux configuration and a high flux configuration. To enable the high flux configuration, some coils wound about the stator of the electric motor can be designated bypass coils and can be selectively disconnected from the power source supplying the motor with electrical power. The remaining permanent coils continue to receive full line power and generate a rotating magnetic field with an increased magnetic flux. At startup from standstill conditions, the bypass coils are selectively disconnected so that a flux boost occurs and a corresponding increase in output torque of the electric motor.

A rotating electric machine includes a field system having a magnet section, and an armature having a multi-phase armature coil. The magnet section has easy axes of magnetization oriented to be nearer perpendicular to a q-axis at locations closer to the q-axis than at locations closer to a d-axis, or to be perpendicular to the q-axis at locations on the q-axis. Each phase of the armature coil has electrical conductor sections formed by winding an electrical conductor wire multiply and arranged at positions facing the magnet section and at a predetermined interval in a circumferential direction. The electrical conductor wire includes a plurality of element wires in a radially laminated state and an insulating coat covering the laminated element wires. Each of the element wires has a flat cross section that is longer in the circumferential direction than in a radial direction.

A linear motor is provided. The linear motor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise: a primary member including a plurality of armature modules, each armature module including a magnet core including two or more protruding portions and a coil; and a secondary member including at least one magnet module.
