The motor has a first element carrying toothed studs and windings mounted on the studs and a second element constituted by a mass of magnetic material on which second element there are formed teeth capable of effecting a relative movement with respect to the teeth of the first element, the number of teeth of the first element being different from the number of teeth of the second element so that said teeth are capable of modifying the reluctance of the magnetic circuits that they constitute respectively with said studs, in order to produce a relative movement of the two elements when the windings are supplied with a poly-phase current. The number of teeth of the two elements satisfies the following relation: in which: Z.sub.I = number of teeth of the first element including fictive teeth which may be assumed to be located between the studs; Z.sub.II = number of teeth of the second element; s = number of studs per phase of the supply; k = a submultiple of the number of phases of said supply, at the most equal to one third of the number of phases.
An invention is a new type of motor, a multi-circular flux motor. The invention has simple structure and comprises of a salient pole rotor and the silent pole stator. The stator pole is subdivided into plural teeth with the individual winding. A group of windings of each stator pole is connected in either series or parallel and is driven by one excitation phase. The movement of the invention uses multi-circular flux loops to produce reluctance torque to make the rotor moves. The multi-circular flux loops comprise of a series of flux loops that every flux loop is inversely rotation direction to each other adjacent. The invention can apply in a linear and rotating machine. By having plural winding poles and phases, the invention can be a poly-phase machine. The invention can be designed to be any number of poles and phases because all flux loops are separated. The invention is applied in both AC and DC machine and both linear and rotating machine. The rotor core can be replaced with a lightweight material or hollowed out to be a lightweight rotor. The invention can be designed to be a toothless-stator or toothless-rotor machine.
An axial flux reluctance machine including a rotor formed from a wound tape of paramagnetic material, a first stator formed from a wound tape of paramagnetic material and a similarly constructed second stator, where the first and the second stators define stator poles and wherein the stator poles of the first stator are not completely aligned with the stator poles of the second stator. Also a reluctance machine system for energizing the axial flux reluctance machine and methods for forming the wound tape rotor and stators.
A variable reluctance motor fed by D.C. pulses is controlled by a rotation sensor. The motor has at least two phases. The stator is designed as a continuous magnetic circuit with two stator poles per phase. The stator poles for the different phases are arranged in sequence along the periphery of the rotor so that each pole adjoins poles pertaining to another phase, and such that diametrically opposed poles pertain to the same phase, each stator pole having at least two teeth per stator pole. The rotor is provided with teeth that cooperate with the stator teeth. The spaces between adjacent stator poles are shorter than the spaces between the teeth of any one stator pole.
An electric motor comprised of laminated, coaxial, annular, inner and outer stators with an annular rotor coaxially positioned between the stators and with coils wrapped about corresponding, angularly spaced apart pole pieces of the inner and outer stators to generate a magnetic flux path which passes radially outward and inward through the rotor from the inner and outer stator pole pieces.
A motor structure and energization scheme provides a high efficiency electronically commutated reluctance motor that is characterized by less iron loss than conventional switched reluctance motors. The motor operates without the reversal of the flow of flux in the stator. Also, the flux switching frequency in the stator is minimized. By eliminating flux reversals and minimizing the flux switching frequency, the electronically commutated reluctance motor is operable over a wide range of speeds with improved efficiency. Structurally, the stator includes unevenly spaced poles which are grouped into pairs separated by a space related to the even spacing of the poles on the rotor. Adjacent pairs of poles on the stator are separated by a spacing which is not equal to the spacing between the poles of a pair. To provide for rotation of the rotor, each pair of poles on the stator is polarized to form poles of opposite polarity such that a magnetic circuit joins the two adjacent poles of the pair. Magnetic circuits linking different pairs of stator poles, which are the source of flux reversals and high switching frequencies in conventional motors, are prevented by providing a stator construction that is without low reluctance paths between adjacent pairs of stator poles.
