PERMANENT MAGNET AXIAL AIR GAP ELECTRIC MACHINE

摘要

A rotor (14) for use in an electric machine, such as an electric motor having a pair of stators (10, 12) and a rotor (14), which includes a central sheet (30), typically connected to a rotating shaft (31), having a pair of opposing faces (32, 34), typically parallel, and one or more pairs of permanent magnets (36, 38). The magnets (36, 38) of each pair of magnets are connected to the central sheet (30) directly or nearly opposite from each other on opposing faces (33, 34) of the central sheet (30). The pair of magnets (36, 38) are mounted so that their polar orientation is co-directional.
