An electric machine for a drive system having a first DS rotor and a second DS rotor includes a first EM rotor rotatable about an axis in a first circumferential direction and including a plurality of magnets, the first EM rotor configured for mechanical coupling to the first DS rotor; and a second EM rotor rotatable about the axis in a second circumferential direction and including a plurality of windings, the second EM rotor configured for mechanical coupling to the second DS rotor and the plurality of magnets of the first EM rotor operably engaged with the plurality of windings of the second EM rotor.

Provided is a permanent magnet brush micromotor and an assembly method thereof. Its upper stator bracket and lower stator bracket are designed to fit together, and the concave parts of the upper stator bracket and lower stator bracket are matched to form a complete mounting cavity for mounting a motor shaft, core winding, bearings and commutator. The core winding, bearings and commutator are installed on the motor shaft to form a mover assembly, and then the mover assembly is installed in the concave part of the lower stator bracket. Finally, combining and fixing the upper stator bracket and lower stator bracket with electric brushes which are respectively placed in brush mounting positions. And, two bearings are fixed or pressed on the same component, so that the concentricity and coaxiality of the bearings can be ensured, the compression of the central biasing force is avoided during assembly.

An armature winding of multiple phases has a phase winding that is made of a plurality of partial windings for each phase. The partial winding includes a pair of intermediate conductor portions and crossover portions that connect the pair of intermediate conductor portions in an annular shape, and is configured by a conductor material being wound in multiple layers in the pair of intermediate conductor portions and the crossover portions. The intermediate conductor portions of the phases are arrayed in a predetermined order in the circumferential direction by one of the intermediate conductor portions of the pair of intermediate conductor portions of the partial winding of another phase being arranged between the pair of intermediate conductor portions of the partial winding. A sheet-shaped insulation covering body is provided in the intermediate conductor portion in a portion that opposes the intermediate conductor portion of the partial winding of another phase.

A rotating electrical machine includes: an oil reception part that has an opening opposed to an injection hole designed to inject ATF into the atmospheric pressure inside a housing; and an oil reservoir that communicates with the oil reception part via a communicating hole provided in a wall part and communicates with a rotor cooling oil channel of a shaft via a cooling oil lead-in hole provided in the wall part. Since ATF having flowed out of the oil reception part flows along an inner face of the wall part of a second housing by gravity and reaches a bearing, one ATF supply route can be used both for cooling a rotor and lubricating a bearing, whereby the ATF supply route can be simplified.

A first vacuum motor includes a first pivoting shaft member, a bearing that rotatably supports the first pivoting shaft member, a disk disposed to be rotatable together with the first pivoting shaft member and having slits, a first bracket that is made of a non-magnetic material and supports the bearing, a recess formed in the first bracket to be dented in the axial direction, and a sensor unit disposed to face the disk in the axial direction via a thin wall formed by the recess. By the thin wall, the space where the sensor unit is disposed under the atmospheric pressure is isolated from the space where the disk is disposed under a reduced pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure.

Embodiments disclosed herein describe methods for an improved electrical connector system.

A motor apparatus having a rotor that includes one or more permanent magnets disposed in ring-like manner, wherein similar poles of adjacent magnets face one another, and further wherein a gear mechanism (e.g., a toothed ring) is configured to transfer rotation from the rotor to an external gear mechanism. The motor may also include a stator comprising one or more solenoids and a bearing assembly that includes a rotating bearing element integrated with a toothed element for engaging with a gear and axle assembly. The rotating bearing element and integrated toothed gear element may pass through cavities of the main solenoids and provide for minimal cavity size, improving motor efficiencies.

There is provided an electric motor/generator comprising a stator and a rotor. The stator has an outer perimeter. The rotor at least coaxially encloses the outer perimeter of the stator. The rotor is rotatable relative to the stator around a rotation axis. The rotor and the stator are separated by a flux bearing gap over which in working magnetic flux occurs. The rotor and the stator are separated by a protective gap. The protective gap is configured to close, during a deformation of the rotor, before the flux bearing gap closes, thereby avoiding closure of the flux bearing gap. The motor/generator is characterized in that the stator comprises a roller bearing and an axle. The roller bearing is coupled to the axle and rotatable around the axle. The axle is arranged off-center from the rotation axis. A distance between the roller bearing and the rotor defines the protective gap.

An axle assembly having an electric motor module and a terminal box that may facilitate mounting of at least one phase cable. The phase cable may be secured to a terminal box cover with a terminal box clamp. The phase cable may extend through a phase block that may be mounted to the terminal box.

An EC motor contains a rotor, a stator, a shaft, a bearing system and an intermediate element connecting the stator to the shaft. The rotor includes a rotor case and one or more permanent magnets, and it is supported, by the bearing system, so as to be rotatable about the shaft. The stator is at least partially arranged, by means of the intermediate element, in a radially outer circumference of the bearing system. Ideally, a fan contains such an EC motor and a fan wheel connected to the rotor case of the rotor of the EC motor. Moreover, a household appliance contains an EC motor or a fan including the EC motor.
