| 7355309 | Permanent magnet rotor for a direct drive generator or a low speed motor In order to provide a less expensive generator, a rotor using nonmagnetic beams is disclosed. The rotor includes a magnetic steel rim connected to a main generator shaft by a hub. The magnetic rim supports the components of the rotor, which includes a plurality of m... | 04/08/2008 |
| 7301310 | Excitation controlled synchronous permanent magnet machine The present invention provides an apparatus and methods for providing constant voltage from a permanent magnet generator at varying prime mover speeds or under varying loads. A constant voltage permanent magnet generator includes a housing, a magnetized rotor, a pri... | 11/27/2007 |
| 7183685 | Rotor for an electric motor The invention relates to a rotor for an electric motor, particularly an electric line-start motor, comprising axially accommodating spaces (4 to 6) for conductor rods, and axially extending receiving spaces (10, 11) for permanent magnets (14,... | 02/27/2007 |
| 6891295 | Flywheel magneto generator A flywheel magneto generator which comprises a rotor having a magnet attached to an outer circumferential side of a flywheel and a stator constructed by winding a generating coil around a core having a magnetic pole portion opposed to a magnetic pole of the rotor, w... | 05/10/2005 |
| 5912521 | Permanent magnet rotor with shorting turns An inductive element in the form of a shorting turn is added to the rotor of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Changes in inductive coupling between the rotor and a stationary coil as the rotor rotates permits inductive measurements to be used to dedu... | 06/15/1999 |
| 5811906 | Damper winding of an elevator motor Damper winding (13) for an elevator motor provided with permanent magnets (14). The damper winding consists of frames (16) surrounding each permanent magnet (14). Each one of the frames is electrically connected to the adjacent frame (16) or the frames ar... | 09/22/1998 |
| 4631435 | Consequent pole permanent magnet rotor A rotor for an electrical machine has large permanent magnets located at half the pole locations, with alternating pole locations containing ferromagnetic projections which become consequent poles in the rotor. The permanent magnet poles have a high reluc... | 12/23/1986 |
| 4393320 | Permanent magnet rotor A permanent magnet rotor comprising a housing defining a central rotor axis, an inner ring secured within the housing and annularly extending around the rotor axis, a plurality of permanent magnets supported within the housing and annularly spaced around ... | 07/12/1983 |
