Systems and methods for electric motor, where the stator core has one or more stator core sections, each of which is a single-piece unit formed of soft magnetic composite (SMC) material, and where the stator core sections are positioned end-to-end with seals at each end to form a plurality of stator slots, where each of the stator slots extends through each of the stator core sections and is in fluid communication with the others to form a sealed stator chamber. The sealed stator chamber may have an expansion chamber to allow expansion and contraction of dielectric fluid in the stator chamber while maintaining separation of the dielectric oil from lubricating oil which is within the motor but external to the stator chamber. The sealed stator chamber can prevent well fluids that leak into the motor from reaching the stator windings and degrading their insulation.

A flinger reducing a noise associated with rotation of an electric motor, and an electric motor with the flinger. The flinger fixed to a rotating shaft of the electric motor includes a plurality of tapped holes provided in an end face on an electric motor, and a cut-out cutting out a part of each of the tapped holes. The tapped hole of the flinger has a depth less than a depth of a tapped hole of a flinger in the related art by a distance equivalent to a depth of the cut-out, so that a natural frequency of an air column formed in the tapped hole increases. Thus, when the flinger is used, rotation speed causing increase in noise during rotation can be shifted to higher rotation speed.

A sealing arrangement includes: a first machine element and a second machine element, each made of an electrically-conductive material; and a seal. The first and second machine elements are sealed against one another by the seal. At least one of the machine elements is made of an electrically-conductive plastic which is at least partially covered by an electrically-insulating, injection-molded skin as a result of production. The seal has an electrically-conductive support body. The support body has at least one substantially mandrel-shaped projection comprising an electrically-conductive material which is arranged on a side of the support body facing the injection-molded skin and completely penetrates the injection-molded skin.

Conventional axial flux motors typically include multiple rotors and stators resulting in a larger and heavier motor. Additionally, conventional axial flux motors include a housing to protect the rotors and stators, but the housing is often difficult to seal from the environment leading to risks of contaminants (e.g., dirt, water) infiltrating the motor and causing failure over time. The present invention overcomes these limitations by disclosing an axial flux motor with a single rotor and two stators. The use of a single rotor reduces the size and weight of the motor. An inboard housing and an outboard housing mechanically support the two stators and are joined together to define an interior cavity. A ring seal is disposed between the two housings to ensure the interior cavity is sealed. Additionally, the two stators may actuate multiple degrees of freedom (DOF) including the rotation of a wheel and actuation of a suspension.

A rotary machine includes a plurality of shafts that extend in an axial direction, in which an axis extends, around the axis, are disposed such that at least parts of positions in the axial direction of the plurality of shafts overlap each other, and are rotatable relative to each other around the axis; a plurality of seal members that are disposed at intervals in the axial direction to seal gaps between the plurality of shafts in a radial direction with respect to the axis; and a seal gas supply unit configured to supply a seal gas from outside to a space surrounded by the plurality of shafts and the plurality of seal members.

A system may include an aircraft galley insert; an aircraft galley insert motor mount; and an aircraft galley insert motor. The aircraft galley insert motor may include: a motor housing; a dynamic seal seat extending from an exterior of the motor housing toward the aircraft galley insert motor mount; a dynamic seal installed within the dynamic seal seat and on the exterior of the motor housing, the dynamic seal preventing matter from an inner cavity from entering an interior of the motor housing; and a shaft driven by the aircraft galley insert motor, the shaft extending from within the aircraft galley insert motor, through the motor housing, through the dynamic seal, and into the inner cavity of the aircraft galley insert, wherein the dynamic seal forms a seal around the shaft as the shaft is driven and as the shaft is deflected at least by gravity effects, turbulence, and vibrations.

The disclosure relates to a gear motor made of a housing enclosing an electric motor driving a reduction gear train having at least one intermediate gear and an output wheel, including an output wheel made of a single piece having a tooth crown on either side of which extend cylindrical axial extensions which are each held by the housing, each one of the extensions having at its respective end a coupling with an external drive element. The output wheel is coaxial with a toothed wheel constituting one of the intermediate gears, the toothed wheel being able to rotate freely in relation to one of the axial extensions.
