Abstract

Abstract A permanent magnet motor particularly adapted as a stepper motor. It is of a low inertia type having an axially polarized permanent magnet and wherein the feature of an axial air gap between a rotor and the magnet is embodied. The rotor provides the axial air gap. It is in the form of a low reluctance body having a peripheral part of laminated construction to improve pulsed stepping operation by minimizing deleterious effects caused by eddy currents.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 85 words
A rotor and stator assembly comprising a laminated core assembly having poles with windings thereon, a shaft having a cup-shaped rotor thereon, a cylindrical permanent magnet secured to the housing and extending into said cup-shaped rotor, said rotor having a part positioned to rotate adjacent surfaces of the stator poles and adjacent said permanent magnet, the rotor having a body part of material offering a low reluctance path, the body part being cylindrical and having ring-shaped laminations secured around the periphery thereof and coextensive therewith.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 85 words
A rotor and stator assembly comprising a laminated core assembly having poles with windings thereon, a shaft having a cup-shaped rotor thereon, a cylindrical permanent magnet secured to the housing and extending into said cup-shaped rotor, said rotor having a part positioned to rotate adjacent surfaces of the stator poles and adjacent said permanent magnet, the rotor having a body part of material offering a low reluctance path, the body part being cylindrical and having ring-shaped laminations secured around the periphery thereof and coextensive therewith.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
A structure as in claim 1 wherein said magnet is axially magnetized and positioned to provide a steady state field through itself the rotor and a part of a housing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 37 words
A structure as in claim 1 wherein the rotor has a skirt concentrically positioned between the stator pole faces and the permanent magnet, providing an axial air gap between an end of the magnet and the rotor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 28 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim 28 words
A structure as in claim 1 wherein said pole faces have teeth formed therein and said rotor has peripheral teeth rotatable adjacent the teeth on the pole faces.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 16 words
A structure as in claim 4 wherein said permanent magnet is cantilever mounted from said housing.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 82 words
A rotor and stator assembly comprising a laminated core assembly having poles with windings thereon, a shaft having a cup-shaped rotor thereon, a cylindrical stator member secured to the housing and extending into said cup-shaped rotor, said rotor having a part positioned to rotate between said poles and said cylindrical stator member, said rotor having a body part of material offering a low reluctance path and the peripheral part of the rotor including laminations positioned around the periphery thereof and coextensive therewith.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 82 words
A rotor and stator assembly comprising a laminated core assembly having poles with windings thereon, a shaft having a cup-shaped rotor thereon, a cylindrical stator member secured to the housing and extending into said cup-shaped rotor, said rotor having a part positioned to rotate between said poles and said cylindrical stator member, said rotor having a body part of material offering a low reluctance path and the peripheral part of the rotor including laminations positioned around the periphery thereof and coextensive therewith.
