A motor includes: a bobbin having an insertion hole; a coil wound around the bobbin; a stator core having an excitation part that is inserted into the insertion hole; a rotor that is disposed rotatably with respect to the stator core; and a resin mold covering the bobbin, the coil, and the stator core. On a first opening end of the insertion hole, an exposed portion having an exposed surface that is exposed from the resin mold is formed. The exposed portion is positioned between the stator core and the resin mold.

An actuator includes a yoke extending about a rotation axis. A coil is wrapped about the yoke. A rotor having a direct axis and a quadrature axis is supported for rotation about a rotation axis relative to the yoke. The rotor has a reluctance along the direct axis that is different than a reluctance along the quadrature axis to rotate the rotor when current is applied to the coil.

A motor including a stator includes a first stator core, and a second stator core that is independent from the first stator core and that is symmetric to the first stator core with respect to a vertical line that passes through a center of the stator. Each of the first and second stator cores includes a yoke, a center tooth that extends from a center of the yoke toward the center of the stator, and outer teeth that extend from a first end of the yoke and a second end of the yoke, respectively. The center tooth is located between the outer teeth, and a length of the outer teeth is greater than a length of the center tooth.

A moving member of a machine can include a cold plate that serves as a primary structural member for the moving member. The cold plate can have one or more cooling channels formed within the cold plate. A plurality of armature windings can be fixed to the cold plate. One or more field windings can be fixed to the cold plate. A plurality of ferromagnetic cores can be fixed to the cold plate, each ferromagnetic core positioned within a loop of at least one of the plurality of armature windings. Other embodiments are described.

Disclosed is a yoke-less mover of a homopolar linear synchronous machine. The yoke-less mover may include a cold plate having slots. Ferromagnetic cores are fixed to the cold plate. Each of the ferromagnetic cores may protrude through a respective one of the slots, creating gaps between the ferromagnetic cores. Armature windings are fixed to the cold plate. The armature windings may occupy the gaps between the ferromagnetic cores. The ferromagnetic cores of the yoke-less mover have better ferromagnetic utilization and lower weight. It also enables more flexible topologies in the armature windings.

Electrical machines such as electromagnetic devices rely on the magnetic flux to create the forces required to move the component that transfers the work output of the device. Embodiment of the disclosure achieve this through a unique stator pole to rotor/actuator pole configuration that maximizes the magnetic flux flow across the air gap(s). This is achieved by tilting the air gap in more than one plane with respect to the rotation plane of the rotor.

An electromagnetic generating transformer comprises one or more flux assembly having one or more magnetic field source having a positive pole and a negative pole and a magnetic field passing in a path between the positive pole and the negative pole and a conductor magnetically coupled with the one or more magnetic field source, the magnetic field source and the conductor being fixed relative to one another; a shunt is coupled with a motive source and configured to move the shunt into a primary position and a secondary position, wherein the magnitude of the magnetic field passing between the positive pole and the negative pole varies when the shunt is moved between the primary position and the secondary position.

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, in particular for an electric machine, has a stator pack including a rotor receiving region configured to receive a rotor configured to be driven around a rotation axis within the rotor receiving region, and including at least one stator pole tooth which is surrounded by a coil surrounding a coil central axis and which includes a pole shoe adjacent to the rotor receiving region, wherein the coil central axis is skewed with respect to the rotation axis.
