A motor includes a brush configured to contact a commutator and a movement restricting structure configured to restrict a movement of the brush. The movement restricting structure has: a carbon holder for housing the brush while permitting a movement of the brush in the commutator radial direction; and a circumferentially restricting part for restricting a movement of the brush in the commutator circumferential direction. The circumferentially restricting part has a passing port formed by punching, through which the brush passes.

An electric machine includes a stator assembly defining a longitudinal axis. The stator assembly includes a substantially cylindrical stator core that is concentric with and extends longitudinally along the longitudinal axis. The stator core includes a stator pole having an inner surface spaced radially outward from the longitudinal axis. The stator pole includes a first aperture extending radially outward from the inner surface of the stator pole. The electric machine also includes a rotor assembly rotatable about the longitudinal axis. The rotor assembly includes a rotatable shaft and a rotor core. The rotor core is concentric with and extends longitudinally along the longitudinal axis. The rotor core also includes a rotor pole including an outer surface spaced radially outward from the longitudinal axis. The outer surface is spaced radially inward from the stator pole inner surface.

A stage mover for moving a stage relative to a stage base includes a conductor assembly and a magnet assembly. The conductor assembly is coupled to the stage base and a plurality of coil units with each coil unit having one or more coils. Each of the coils has a coil width. The magnet assembly interacts with the conductor assembly and includes a plurality of spaced apart magnet arrays. Each of the magnet arrays is spaced apart from each adjacent magnet array by an array gap that is at least equal to the coil width so that independent and symmetric magnetic flux distribution can be achieved for each of the magnet arrays.

The invention relates to a method for the production of a component, of an electric machine, such as, for example, a stator, comprising a wire mat which is made of wire, preferably flat wire, comprising the following steps: aligning the wire, twisting the wire in at least some sections about its longitudinal axis, z-shaped angling of the wire, winding the wire, in particular winding the wire helically onto a carrier, transferring the wire mat thus obtained onto a mounting tool.

The fitting of a stator (13) body (14) equipped with a winding (12) in an inner support surface (250) for a skirt (155) of a bearing (15) of a rotary electrical machine, such as an alternator or an alternator-starter of a motor vehicle, characterized in that the skirt (155) is heated locally by induction before fitting of the body (14) equipped with its winding (12) in the skirt (155). The invention also relates to a rotary electrical machine comprising a fitting of this type.
