Pump with residual magnetism attenuation

A pump includes a stator and a rotor axially between a fluid inlet section and a fluid outlet section. The stator includes a plurality of radially inwardly extending legs; and a plurality of electrical windings disposed about the radially inwardly extending legs. The attenuating circuit includes a capacitor electrically wired in parallel with each winding and at least one switch electrically connected to the capacitor. During energization of the electrical winding, the switch electrically connects the capacitor to an electrical ground and the electrical power source creates a voltage in the capacitor. Following a de-energization of the plurality of electrical windings, the switch isolates the capacitor from the electrical ground and the capacitor discharges the voltage through the electrical winding, creating a decaying oscillating current that attenuates residual magnetization in the winding.

20170219025 · 2017-08-03 ·

A wedge clutch, including: first and second hubs; an outer ring; a first wedge plate radially disposed between the first hub and the outer ring; a second wedge plate radially disposed between the second hub and the outer ring; and a wedge pin including an actuation ramp axially disposed between the first and second hubs. To transition to a connect mode, in which the first and second hubs are non-rotatably connected to the outer ring, the wedge pin is arranged to rotate in a first rotational direction and the actuation ramp is arranged to displace the first and second hubs away from each other. To transition to a disconnect mode, in which the first and second hubs are rotatable with respect to the outer ring, the wedge pin is arranged to rotate in a second opposite rotational direction to reduce an axial distance between the first and second hubs.
