A system is described in which a magnetic mover includes at least one mover identification device. The system also includes a stator defining a work surface and including an actuation coil assembly and at least one stator identification device operable to interact with the at least one mover identification device. One or more sensors are used to sense a position of the first magnetic mover. One or more stator driving circuits are used to drive the actuation coil assembly to thereby move the first magnetic mover over the work surface. The first magnetic mover includes one or more magnetic components positioned such that interaction of one or more magnetic fields emitted by the one or more magnetic components with one or more magnetic fields generated by the actuation coil assembly when driven by the one or more stator driving circuits enables movement of the first magnetic mover in at least two degrees of freedom.

A vehicle drive device with a reduction device includes an input driving unit that provides a driving force, a transmission part comprising a first rotor, a second rotor, and a stator stacked in a rotational axial direction of the input driving unit, and an output part connected to one of the first rotor or the second rotor. In particular, the input driving unit is connected to the other of the first rotor or the second rotor.

In one aspect of a motor of the present invention, an inverter housing portion is located on the radially outer side of a stator housing portion. A housing has a tubular circumferential wall surrounding the rotor and the stator on the radially outer side of the rotor and the stator, and is a single member. The circumferential wall has a first cooling flow path, and a partition wall that partitions the stator housing portion and the inverter housing portion. The first cooling flow path extends in the circumferential direction, and at least a part of the first cooling flow path is provided in the partition wall. As viewed along the predetermined direction, a portion of the first cooling flow path provided in the partition wall has a portion overlapping the inverter and a portion overlapping the capacitor.

A rotating electrical machine is provided which is equipped with a rotor core and a magnet unit made up of a plurality of magnets. Each of the magnets is oriented to have an easy axis of magnetization which extends more parallel to a d-axis in a region closer to the d-axis than that in a region close to a q-axis does. The easy axis of magnetization defines a magnet-produced magnetic path. The rotor core includes d-axis protrusions through which magnetic flux passes along the d-axis and does not have q-axis protrusions through which magnetic flux passes along the q-axis. This causes a magnetic resistance in the region close to the d-axis to be lower than that in the region closer to the q-axis, thereby providing salient poles. This structure enables the rotating electrical machine to be reduced in size and have an enhanced efficiency in operation.

An electrically controllable component assembly and an electronically slip-controllable brake system having such a component assembly. The component assembly has an electric machine including a rotor, a machine shaft connected to a rotor in a torsionally fixed manner, and a signal transducer, revolving with the rotor, of a sensor device for the electronic sensing and evaluation of the angle of rotation of the machine shaft. The signal transducer has first regions and second regions, which are situated in mutual alternation in sequence in the circumferential direction of the signal transducer and differ from one another in their respective electrical conductivity. The signal transducer includes a shaped sheet metal part, which rests in a flush manner against the rotor and is anchored in a torsionally fixed manner to the machine shaft.

The sets of receiving coils of the stators of the two angle sensors are structurally same and the rotors of the two angle sensors are structurally the same.
