A GEARLESS DRIVE FOR A ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINE

摘要

A gearless drive for a rotating electrical machine comprises a rotor (12) in the form of a hollow rotatable body (10) and having an axis of rotation and a stator (14) surrounding the rotor (12). A plurality of pole bodies (16) are independently mounted circumferentially around the rotor (12) by a pole mounting arrangement (18). The stiffness of the pole mounting arrangement (18) in the radial direction is greater than the stiffness of the pole mounting arrangement (18) in the circumferential direction.
