The cooling liquid channel includes a first annular channel and a second annular channel which respectively include a pair of coil ends therein, a first communication channel, and a second communication channel. A first end portion of the first communication channel is located adjacent to but separated from the first annular channel and communicates with the first cooling liquid port. A second end portion of the first communication channel communicates with the second annular channel. The second communication channel extends between the first and second annular channels so as to communicate the first and second annular channels with each other.

An axial flux motor includes a housing; a drive shaft disposed within the housing; at least one rotor; and at least one stator. The at least one rotor includes a diametrically-magnetized single pole pair magnetic ring having a rotor aperture defined through the center of the magnetic ring, where the drive shaft extends through the rotor aperture and where the at least one rotor is fixed to the drive shaft. The at least one stator includes a number of conductive windings and a stator aperture, where the drive shaft extends through the stator aperture and where the drive shaft is rotatable within the aperture. The at least one stator is configured to generate an axial magnetic field that causes the at least one rotor to rotate, thereby rotating the drive shaft.

A stator assembly including a frame structure having a stator teeth being circumferentially distributed around a longitudinal axis, wherein in between respective two neighboring stator teeth there is formed one stator slot; a winding system having a plurality of electric windings, wherein respectively one electric winding is wound around at least one stator tooth and is partially accommodated within two stator slots and each electric winding comprises an end winding portion which axially protrudes from the frame structure; and an insulation arrangement having a plurality of electric insulation devices, each insulation device surrounding a part of one electric winding is provided.

A stator for an electric machine includes a core and a multi-phase winding arrangement positioned on the core. Each phase of the winding arrangement includes a plurality of parallel paths defining a plurality of poles for the electric machine. Each parallel path includes a plurality of coils positioned on the core, each coil defined by coil legs and end turns. The coil legs include left legs and right legs extending through the slots of the core. The left legs and right legs of each coil are connected by first end turns at one end of the core and second end turns at an opposite end of the core. Each pole of the electric machine is associated with a pole slot set comprised of multiple slots on the stator core. For each pole slot set, legs for each parallel path extend through one of the slots of said pole slot set.

Rectangular conductor wires are often used in alternator applications requiring a high slot fill to maximize output and efficiency. However for lower output and efficiency applications, round conductor wire may increase cost competiveness in these alternators. A common lamination for a core alternatively accommodates both rectangular conductor wires and round conductor wires for different applications without any other component changes. The lamina has a slot that aligns round wire in a single row within the slot and provides a predetermined clearance from the slot opening. A stator core formed from these laminae has a relatively high slot fill factor when wound with the round wire. The same stator core can be alternatively wound with square wire to increase the slot fill factor even higher. The common lamination results in two stator configurations: a high slot fill version (round wire) and a very high slot fill version (square wire).

A stator for a rotating machine with tooth segments and adjoining yoke segments, in which the tooth segments may include a higher saturation induction material and the yoke segments may include a lower saturation induction material, the stator optionally provided as a stack of single-material and multi-material lamination layers.

A stator structure of an embodiment includes a stator core that comprises: a ring-shaped main body; and a plurality of teeth extending in a radial direction of the main body and arranged along a circumferential direction of the main body. The main body comprises a plurality of elongated holes that are formed in an arc shape along the circumferential direction of the main body and that are arranged along the circumferential direction of the main body, and a plurality of holes that are arranged along the circumferential direction of the main body between the teeth and the elongated holes in the radial direction of the main body. At least one of the holes is disposed between beams and the teeth located close to the beams, the beams being provided between the adjacent elongated holes.

A stator for an electric machine includes a stator core with a multi-phase winding arranged on the stator core. The stator core has a plurality of slots formed therein and defines a first axial end and a second axial end. The multi-phase winding includes multiple parallel paths for each winding phase, each parallel path completing multiple revolutions around the stator core, and each parallel path comprising a series of slot segments arranged in layers of the plurality of slots and end turns alternately connecting consecutive slot segments on the first axial end and the second axial end. A pitch of the end turns connecting the slot segments for at least one parallel path alternates between a first pitch on the first axial end and a second pitch on the second axial end, the second pitch being different from the first pitch.

The center disk spindle double-rotor motor includes a transmission shaft, a stator assembly and rotor assemblies; the stator assembly is arranged on the transmission shaft; the transmission shaft can rotate relative to the stator assembly; the transmission shaft is fixedly provided with the rotor assemblies on two sides of the stator assembly.

An electric motor has a stator defining multiple stator poles with associated electrical windings, and a rotor having multiple rotor poles. The rotor has flux barriers between adjacent rotor poles, the flux barriers each having a material with an electrical conductivity higher than the rotor pole material. The flux barriers are electrically isolated from one another external to the ferromagnetic material. Eddy currents are induced in the flux barrier to cause destructive interference of an impending magnetic field, such that the flux barrier effectively acts to inhibit magnetic flux during motor operation, which in some cases will result in a repulsive force that will act to increase an induced motive force on the rotor poles.
