This disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a laminated core including a plurality of poles arranged side by side in a circumferential direction, each pole having three or more magnet housing holes and magnets housed in the magnet housing holes. The manufacturing method includes: a step of preparing a lamination having the magnet housing holes; a step of injecting sealing resin into a pair of magnet housing holes arranged at symmetric positions with respect to a line extending in a radial direction of the lamination, with the magnets being disposed in the pair of respective magnet housing holes; and a step of injecting sealing resin into another magnet housing hole, with the magnet being disposed in the magnet housing hole.

A light weight hybrid torque transfer joint trunnion has an integral metal hub spline fitting oriented on a center axis. This integral metal hub spline fitting may be made of steel, aluminum, titanium, or the like and may be generally cylindrical. The integral metal hub spline fitting defines an integral central internally-splined mast or driveshaft coupling opening centered about the center axis. A composite material body centrally retains, and is cured to, the metal hub spline fitting. Torque transfer joint link attachment pins extend from the composite material body and are rigidly linked to the metal hub spline fitting. In an example constant-velocity joint, a plurality of pivoting linkages may each be rotatably coupled to the torque transfer joint link attachment pins, and each of the plurality of pivoting linkages may, in turn be secured to a rotor yoke configured to mount a plurality of rotorcraft blades.

A magnet embedded core is manufactured in a stable manner even when using a die clamping device having a large rated clamping force by preventing an excessive pressurizing force from being applied to a laminated iron core, performing the clamping with an appropriate pressurizing force so to minimize leakage of the resin out of magnet insertion holes, and suppressing a reduction in the geometric and dimensional precision of the laminated iron core. A die clamping device for driving a moveable platen in a direction toward and away from a fixed lower platen is configured to include a toggle link mechanism. In a fully extended state of the toggle link mechanism, an upper die abuts an end surface of the laminated iron core to close openings of the magnet insertion holes and pressurize the laminated iron core in a laminating direction.

A method of forming a rotary part is disclosed. The method comprises (a) rotating a mandrel about an axis, (b) delivering a metal feed onto the surface of the mandrel and (c) exposing the particles at the surface to a high energy discharge so that the particles melt together to form a surface layer of metal. The method also comprises repeating steps (a) to (c) by subsequently delivering the metal feed onto the formed surface layer to form the rotary part radially from the mandrel to an outer perimeter with a desired size and shape. Also disclosed are rotary parts formed by the method and an apparatus for forming a rotary part in accordance with the method.

A centrifugal rotor device includes a first chamber configured to hold a fluid, and a second chamber configured to receive the fluid from the first chamber. The centrifugal rotor device also includes a conduit coupled to the first chamber at a conduit inlet and coupled to the second chamber at a conduit outlet, the conduit configured to permit movement of the fluid from the first chamber to the second chamber. The conduit includes a first channel and a second channel formed adjacent to the first channel. The second channel is in fluid communication with the first channel and has a dimension smaller than the smallest dimension of the first channel. The conduit also includes one or more obstructive features present in the second channel configured to impede movement of the fluid in the second channel.

A manufacturing method for an electric motor stator includes an injecting step in which thermosetting resin is injected into a forming die, a dipping step in which a coil end portion is dipped into the thermosetting resin injected into the forming die, a heating step in which the thermosetting resin inside the forming die is heated so as to form a molded portion, and a mold release step in which the molded portion is released from the forming die when at least either shear force of the thermosetting resin or adhesive strength between the coil end portion and the thermosetting resin becomes greater than previously-determined mold release force.

A method for producing an encapsulated structure, the method including: a step of supplying granules or powder (1) formed from an epoxy resin composition to an extruder equipped with a screw (42) and a die (5) provided at the tip of the screw (42), and heating and melting the granules or powder (1) formed from the epoxy resin composition; a step of extruding the molten epoxy resin composition through the die (5) having a predetermined opening shape by rotation of the screw (42); a step of cutting the extruded epoxy resin composition (6) into a predetermined length to obtain a tablet formed from the epoxy resin composition, where the tablet has dimensions with a diameter of equal to or more than 40 mm and equal to or less than 100 mm and a length of equal to or more than 50 mm and equal to or less than 300 mm; a step of transferring the tablet to a transfer molding machine having a molding mold (30) in which an object to be encapsulated is disposed; and a step of obtaining an encapsulated structure by encapsulating the object to be encapsulated (11, 12) in the molding mold with the epoxy resin composition by a transfer molding method of using the transfer molding machine, in which the epoxy resin composition includes: an epoxy resin, a curing agent, an inorganic filler, a curing accelerator, and a wax having a melting point of equal to or higher than 30? C. and equal to or lower than 90? C.

A rotor includes a shaft, a hub that is fixed to one axial end part of the shaft, is configured to cover one axial end face of the shaft, and is made of a resin, a plurality of connection parts that radially outward extend from the hub of the rotor and are made of the resin, and an outer peripheral part that is disposed radially outside the hub and is connected to the hub via the connection parts. A resin injection gate mark is provided on one axial end face of the hub.

A magnet embedded core is manufactured in a stable manner by preventing an excessive pressurizing force from being applied to the laminated iron core and performing the clamping with an appropriate pressurizing force so that the leakage of the resin out of the magnet insertion holes can be minimized, and the reduction in the geometric and dimensional precision of the laminated iron core may be suppressed. An electric die clamping device is used, such that a laminated iron core is placed on one of a fixed die and a moveable die and upon clamping by the die clamping device, the other of the fixed die and the moveable die is caused to abut onto an end surface of the laminated iron core to close openings of magnet insertion holes and pressurize the laminated iron core in a laminating direction.

The manufacturing method of a motor core includes attaching an ID code to a stack of blanked members in which a magnet insertion hole to fill with a resin material is formed, the ID code containing information in accordance with a type of the stack, reading the information from the ID code which is attached to the stack, and setting a mold condition based on the information read from the ID code. The mold condition includes at least one type of condition including: the resin material to be injected to the magnet insertion hole, an injection amount of the resin material, and a discharge position of the resin material. A mold device is controlled to inject the resin material to the magnet insertion hole in accordance with the mold condition.
