Described is a stator for an axial flow electric machine comprising a toroidal core (2) made from ferromagnetic material and a plurality of windings (3) and teeth (4) angularly distributed on the core (2) in an alternating configuration. The teeth have, on at least one relative lateral surface, a shaped profile defining at least one gripping surface (12) such as to act in conjunction with a matrix of resin designed to stably press the teeth (4) on the core (2).

An axial flux rotating machine comprises a rotatable component and a stator component. The rotatable component includes a rotor having an axis of rotation and an even number of permanent magnets disposed in a circle at a radial distance from said axis and supported for rotation about said axis. The stator component comprises at least one open ended transformer core member with one or more electrically conductive wire coils around the core member. The transformer core member and said rotatable component are aligned so that the permanent magnets induce an alternating magnetic field in the open ended transformer core or cores when the rotatable component rotates.

Disclosed is an electromagnetic vibratory pump, comprising a first C-shaped winding and a first magnet. The first C-shaped winding comprises a first coil and a first electromagnetizable member. The first coil covers the first electromagnetizable member, which comprises a first main body, a first leg and a second leg. The legs are connected to the first main body, and the distance between the legs is reduced from a first width to a second width from the first main body. The first magnet swings in a circular tangential direction. A point of tangency of the circular tangential direction is configured apart from the first leg and the second leg respectively by a first minimum distance. The first minimum distance is less than a half of the second width. The first magnet is driven by the first magnetic line of force to move in the first circular tangential direction, and the first magnet is driven by the second magnetic line of force to move in the second circular tangential direction.

On an AC permanent magnet switched reluctance motor stator seat, C-shaped or U-shaped excitation salient pole pairs or compound excitation salient pole pairs are set up in a balanced way. Excited by excitation current, the permanent magnet flux of compound excitation salient pole pair is imported into the main loop of excitation flux to form compound excitation magnetic potential. On the rotor support, permanent magnets are fixed at the same interval, and the magnetic polarity of neighboring permanent magnets on a same rotating surface is different. When the rotating shaft rotates, two magnet pole faces of each permanent magnet on rotor support will be dead against the two ports of each excitation salient pole pair on the stator, forming a closed magnetic loop with air gap.

A single phase permanent magnet motor includes a stator core, windings, and a permanent magnet rotor. The stator core includes an end portion and two spaced arm portions each including a connecting arm and a pole claw. Each pole claw has a long pole tip and a short pole tip, and forms a pole surface. The long pole tip of each pole claw corresponds to the short pole tip of the other pole claw with a slot opening formed there between. The slot opening causes the arc pole surface to be discontinued along a circumferential direction, and the arc pole surface is recessed inwardly to form a startup groove.

A stator core includes an end portion, a first pole arm, and a second pole arm. The first pole arm includes two first connecting arms extending from the end portion and spaced from each other, and two first pole claws respectively formed at ends of the first connecting arms. The first pole claws are spaced from each other with an opening formed there between. The second pole arm includes two second connecting arms axially stacked to the two first connecting arms respectively and two second pole claws respectively formed at distal ends of the two second connecting arms. The two second connecting arms are connected with each other.
