Abstract
Abstract A direct drive motor for use with factory automation, wherein the motor is arranged to directly obtain rotary forces without using a final reduction gear. The direct drive motor has an inner stator, an outer rotor disposed outside the inner stator with a slight air gap formed therebetween, a cylindrical rotor hub to which the outer rotor hub is internally fixed and a bearing provided in an inner cylindrical portion of the rotor hub for rotatably supporting the rotor hub.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
A direct drive motor comprising an inner stator having two pairs of magnetic substances, permanent magnets interposed therebetween and exciting coils; a cylindrical housing to which said inner stator is fixed; an outer rotor disposed outside said inner stator with a slight air gap formed therebetween; a cylindrical rotor hub having its inside portion to which said outer rotor is fixed; and a cross roller bearing, provided in an inner cylindrical portion of said rotor hub, for rotatably supporting said rotor hub, said rotor hub being rotatably supported on said cross roller bearing within said inner cylindrical portion of said rotor hub on the basis of cantilever structure; said inner stator is fixed to said cylindrical housing, said bearing is fastened with a clamp ring between said rotor hub and said housing, wherein said clamp ring includes notches for absorbing forces acting on said clamp ring.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
146 words
A direct drive motor comprising an inner stator having two pairs of magnetic substances, permanent magnets interposed therebetween and exciting coils; a cylindrical housing to which said inner stator is fixed; an outer rotor disposed outside said inner stator with a slight air gap formed therebetween; a cylindrical rotor hub having its inside portion to which said outer rotor is fixed; and a cross roller bearing, provided in an inner cylindrical portion of said rotor hub, for rotatably supporting said rotor hub, said rotor hub being rotatably supported on said cross roller bearing within said inner cylindrical portion of said rotor hub on the basis of cantilever structure; said inner stator is fixed to said cylindrical housing, said bearing is fastened with a clamp ring between said rotor hub and said housing, wherein said clamp ring includes notches for absorbing forces acting on said clamp ring.
