Claw pole type magnetoelectric rotor

摘要

The rotor has 2N poles formed by magnetic pieces (1,1') of opposite polarity with N clips. Each clip end (5,5') has a chamfered external surface making a progressive radial air gap and receding internal surfaces that meet at a convergence point at the centre defining a bezel. The clip has a polygonal base which connects with the hub (2) and a tapered free end (8). Several clips are braced by at least one multiple strut in a single piece. In particular, a double strut (7) between the end and the centre of the bezel is used to give a rigid direct link between opposite clips. An annular non-magnetic cover encloses the rotor.
