An electrical machine has a stator-rotor configuration in which the rotor has at least two poles. The poles are configured to rotate in an angle and to electromagnetically interact with one or more teeth that is a part of a stator adjoined in a fixed position to the electrical machine. The configuration forms a gap in the lateral direction between the poles and the teeth. At least one of the poles is formed of a permanent magnet material and a magnetic flux intensifier is arranged relative to at least one of the poles and one of the teeth. The magnetic flux intensifier is configured to concentrate the magnetic field lines between a pole and the teeth.

An apparatus and method for the installation and removal of permanent magnets in a permanent magnet electromechanical machine, for example a wind turbine power unit generator. A magnet holder is mounted on a magnet carrying structure such as a rotor. Permanent magnets may be inserted into and removed from the magnet holder after the electromechanical machine is assembled. The magnet holders define passages for airflow between the inside top and magnet surface. In this manner, permanent magnets may be installed on the magnet carrying structure and provided with additional cooling via said passages. Further, the holders may be configured to secure the magnets by an interference fit, without using bolts or adhesives, to facilitate both assembly and removal for maintenance and repair.

A method for aligning an armature shaft, wherein in a first step a concentricity error of the armature shaft is determined in the region of the shaft portion by measuring a radial deflection of the armature shaft, and wherein in a second step the radial deflection of the armature shaft is reduced by local deformation of the shaft portion on the side of the bearing element remote from the laminated portion.

A method and assembly for forming a rotor include forming a rotor core having a plurality of voids and placing the formed rotor core into a die cavity. The method includes moving a plurality of support shoes to define an outer diameter of the die cavity, and injecting at least one of the plurality of voids with a magnetic slurry. At least one permanent magnet is formed from the magnetic slurry by applying pressure to the rotor core and the magnetic slurry within the die cavity and by applying a magnetic field to align the magnetic slurry. After forming the at least one permanent magnet within the rotor core, the plurality of support shoes are retracted and the rotor core removed with the at least one permanent magnet formed therein.

An armature assembly apparatus for assembling an armature of an electrical machine is provided. The armature assembly apparatus has an armature holding apparatus to hold a partially assembled armature such that a rotation axis of the armature is horizontal. The armature assembly apparatus has a rotating device for rotating the partially assembled armature about a rotation axis. The armature assembly apparatus also has a ring segment conveyance for conveying an armature ring segment to a mounting position relative to a free ring segment portion of the partially assembled armature.

A method for manufacturing a laminated core for a motor comprises the steps of: stamping a sheet of a core of a straight form to have a form that a plurality of split cores are connected; laminating sheets of the core perpendicularly; bending the sheets of the core in a round form; and forming a connection caulking part at contact parts of yokes, which are adjacent to each other, of the bended core.

A laminated iron core manufacturing method in a blanking die apparatus having multiple machining stations is provided. The method includes feeding a belt-shaped workpiece progressively in a longitudinal direction in the blanking die apparatus, operating cutting tools provided in the respective machining stations simultaneously to perform predetermined blanking operations on the progressively fed workpiece and finally perform a contour blanking operation on the workpiece so as to form core pieces, and laminating the core pieces within or outside the blanking die apparatus to thereby manufacture a laminated iron core. An auxiliary cutting tool is operated to form a disposal hole by partly blanking a scrap forming area of the workpiece simultaneously with the operations of the cutting tools of the multiple machining stations, to thereby secure a load balance of the blanking die apparatus in the feeding direction.

The present invention relates to a device for magnetizing and assembling an electrical machine comprising a stator and a rotor with at least one permanent magnet. The device includes a magnetizer unit for magnetizing the at least one permanent magnet of the rotor, a rotor load unit, and a translation unit for translating the rotor from the magnetizer unit to a rotor load unit for inserting the rotor into the stator. The invention also relates to a method for magnetizing and assembling an electrical machine comprising a stator and a rotor with at least one permanent magnet at a magnetizing unit.

A rotor assembling method for a turbo-charger may include washing and preparing components of a rotor having a connector, a permanent magnet, end caps, a retention ring, and a center pipe, inserting the connector into the permanent magnet, thermally inserting one or more end caps into the connector by cooling the connector and heating the one or more end caps under a first high-temperature condition for a first predetermined time to form a permanent magnet assembly, thermally inserting the permanent magnet assembly into the retention ring by cooling the permanent magnet assembly and heating the retention ring under a second high-temperature condition for a second predetermined time to form a rotor assembly, thermally inserting the center pipe into the rotor assembly by heating the rotor assembly under a third high-temperature condition for a third predetermined time to form a rotor assembling body, and post processing the rotor assembling body.

A rotator member 300 includes a tubular sleeve 301 having a first end surface and a second end surface, a plurality of magnet segments 311 circumferentially disposed at a radially outside of the sleeve 301, and a tubular member 321 adapted to cover the magnet segments 311 from a radially outside to hold the magnet segments 311 between the tubular member 321 and the sleeve 301. The sleeve 301 has an inner circumference surface that includes a tapered surface that gradually and outside the radial direction expands in a direction from the first end surface toward the second end surface.
