An object of the present invention is to suppress an outflow of varnish from a lower portion of a stator core by increasing a filling rate of varnish in a slot. Provided is a method for manufacturing a stator of a rotary electric machine. The stator has a coil and a stator core in which a slot that houses the coil is formed, and a resin member of which viscosity is low at a first temperature and the viscosity is high at a second temperature higher than the first temperature is filled in the slot from an injection side. The manufacturing method includes a first step of causing a temperature difference in the stator core such that the injection side becomes the first temperature and an opposite side of the injection side becomes the second temperature, and a second step of injecting the resin member from the injection side in a state in which the temperature difference is maintained.

To prevent the creation of unnecessary resin from the resin used for fixing the magnet, a device for manufacturing a magnet embedded core including a magnet embedded in resin filling a magnet insertion hole (104) extending axially in a motor core comprises a resin charging device (80) configured to charge the resin (114) in solid form into the magnet insertion hole (104), a magnet insertion device (90) configured to insert the magnet (110) into the magnet insertion hole (104), and a heating device (70) configured to heat the motor core (101) to melt the resin (114) in solid form received in the magnet insertion hole (104).

To prevent the axial compressive force that acts on the rotor core from becoming unnecessarily large and to enable a high-quality magnet embedded core to be manufactured efficiently, a retaining jig (10) for a rotor core (2) including a magnet insertion hole (4) forming a through hole defining openings on end surfaces in an axial direction includes: a first plate (12) configured to contact against one of the end surfaces of the rotor core (2) and including a gate (20) configured to communicate with the corresponding opening of the magnet insertion hole (4); a second plate (14) configured to oppose another of the end surfaces of the rotor core (2); a closure member (26) coupled to the second plate (14) via a compression spring member (28) and configured to be capable of closing the opening of the magnet insertion hole (4) on the other of the end surfaces; and a coupling member (30) that couples the first plate (12) and the second plate (14) to each other such that the closure member (26) closes the opening and a spring force of the compression spring member (28) becomes a prescribed value.

In a method for producing a material layer by an additive process, a first suspension with binding agent and solid particles is applied through a first template onto a base area to obtain a first green body, thereby reproducing by the first template a first material region of a first material to form a magnetic flux-conductive region with a first magnetic permeability μr>50. A second suspension with binding agent and solid particles is applied through a second template onto a base area to obtain a second green body, thereby reproducing by the second template a second material region of a second material to form a flux-blocking region with a second magnetic permeability μr<5. The first and second green bodies are joined and a permanent, material-bonded cohesion between the first and second green bodies and the solid particles is created by heating and/or by compaction.

Disclosed are a method for producing a laminate including a step of laminating a resin impregnated fiber reinforced composition layer on a metal member, wherein the method includes a step of forming a resin coating on the metal member and a step of laminating a resin impregnated fiber reinforced composition layer containing a resin impregnated fiber reinforced composition containing (I) 20 to 80% by mass of a polymer having a melting point and/or a glass transition temperature of 50 to 300° C., and (C) 20 to 80% by mass of a reinforcing fiber

A rotor includes a rotor core, a first magnet, a second magnet, and a holder made of resin. Both a radially inner surface and a radially outer surface of the first magnet are covered with the rotor core. The second magnet includes a radially inner surface covered with the rotor core, and a radially outer surface exposed from the rotor core. The holder includes a first inner pressing portion and a second inner pressing portion. The first inner pressing portion presses the first magnet radially outward from a radially inner side of the first magnet. The second inner pressing portion presses the second magnet radially outward from a radially inner side of the second magnet. Accordingly, the first magnet and the second magnet are accurately positioned for the rotor core.

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.

The invention relates to a rotor for a compressible fluid pump, in particular a blood pump that can be introduced through a blood vessel into a patient's body, wherein said rotor comprises one or more conveying elements (15), is compressible and expandable between a first compressed state and a second radially expanded state, is made at least partially from a plastic reinforced with reinforcing elements, in particular fibers (10, 11, 13, 18, 19, 55, 56, 62, 63) and is provided for rotation about an axis of rotation (14). According to the invention, the rotor is tensioned in the first, compressed state and free from external stresses in the second, expanded state. A third state exists, which the rotor (42) occupies in the operating state under load. The reinforcing elements, in particular fibers, extend in the rotor in the third state at least in sections in a stretched manner.
