The motor includes a shaft (5) made of metal and a base including a metal board (81) covered with a coating layer (83). The coating layer (83) has an opening (83b), and the metal board (81) includes a recessed part (84) exposed through the opening (83b). An outer peripheral part of the shaft (5) and the recessed part (84) are fused or welded together.

A motor includes a rotor and a stator including a stator core and a winding including a first extension extending with respect to the stator core toward one side in a rotation-axis direction of the rotor, a second extension extending toward a rotation-radial direction outside of the rotor from an end of the first extension on the one side in the rotation-axis direction, and a third extension extending toward the one side in the rotation-axis direction from an end at the rotor rotation-radial direction outside of the second extension, and connected to a circuit device, and the winding forming a coil around the stator core, and such that an inner bent portion at a boundary between the first and second extensions is disposed at the one side in the rotation-axis direction with respect to an outer bent portion at a boundary between the second and third extensions.

A vacuum desorption, impregnation and curing system, a vacuum desorption device and a vacuum desorption process for a protective layer of a magnetic pole are provided. Before injection of an impregnation liquid, vacuum desorption is performed on a sealed system formed by a magnetic yoke and a vacuum bag. A functional relationship about a vacuum degree or pressure in the sealed system is established so as to control the procedure of the vacuum desorption. Parameters in the functional relationship include an average suctioned gas volume flow of a vacuum pump, duration of vacuumization, an initial pressure in the sealed system, as well as an initial volume of the sealed system. With the functional relationship for the vacuum impregnation and curing system and the vacuum impregnation and curing process, a vacuum desorption standard is provided, a desorption time may be grasped better, and mutual verification effect is formed in conjunction with the detected pressure.

A rotorcraft having an electric drive for driving a main rotor of a rotorcraft, more particularly a helicopter, the electric drive comprising: a coupler for coupling the electric drive to a rotor mast, which can be coupled for conjoint rotation with a drive unit of a helicopter rotor transmission, for coupling for conjoint rotation with the main rotor or tail rotor. A rotorcraft with an electric drive is provided with which the space requirement is reduced, the construction is simplified and the maintenance requirement is reduced. This problem is solved in that the electric drive is designed as an electric ring motor, with the electric ring motor being arranged and attached coaxially with the rotor mast.

In a rotating electrical machine, an armature includes a filmy sheet member secured to one of an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface of a base member to cover one of the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the base member. A sheet member is made of thermoplastic resin as non-magnetic material, and has a field-member side peripheral surface. Each conductive member has at least part embedded in the sheet member in a radial direction of the rotating electrical machine to thereby arrange a base-member side peripheral surface to be radially closer to the base member than the field-generator side peripheral surface of the sheet member is.

A lubricant supported electric motor includes an outer stator and an inner stator each extending around an axis in radially spaced relationship with one another. A rotor is rotatably disposed between the inner and outer stators to define an inner gap extending radially between the rotor and the inner stator and an outer gap extending radially between the rotor and the outer stator. A lubricant is disposed in both of the inner and outer gaps for supporting the rotor radially between the inner and outer stators. The lubricant supported motor with a two-sided radial flux configuration results in improved rotor-to-stator system stiffness to allow the lubricant supported electric motor to be used in high shock and high vibration environments, while also providing high torque in a small and lightweight design package.

An electromagnetic propulsion system is provided. The system comprises first and second pluralities of stator coils wound about first and second axes, a plurality of support structures, first and second couplers that surround portions of the first and second pluralities of stator coils, and first and second pluralities of sets of rotor coils wound about axes that are parallel to the first and second axes. The stator coils are configured to receive electric current through an outside controller selecting appropriately coupled stator sections or through a sliding electrical contact system or bearing system to induce at least a first magnetic field. The plurality of support structures supports the first and second plurality of stator coils. The first and second couplers include notches and are oriented so that their notches pass over the plurality of support structures when the couplers move along the stator coils. The couplers may have an adjustable segment to close the notch. The sets of rotor coils are equidistantly attached to the couplers and are configured to receive electric current to induce magnetic fields that interact with the magnetic fields of the stator coils so that magnetic forces are applied to the plurality of rotor coils, thereby propelling the couplers along the stator coils.
