Magnetic device with spaced apart pole plates, flux return strip and electrical connector having integral mounting

摘要

A magnetic device having a stator assembly having a magnetic flux return path comprising at least a pair of pole plates located a fixed distance apart from each other and at least one flux return strip between each pair of spaced apart pole plates, and a rotor assembly having permanent magnetic material and being disposed for rotation relative to the stator assembly. The device further includes an electrical connector. Use of the flux return strip facilitates flexible design of the electrical connector for integral mounting of the device to mating components or flexible design of light-weight non-metallic housings and mounting Systems for mounting of the device to mating components.
