Abstract
Abstract A permanent magnet, alternating current energized motor (10) having a variable hysteresis output coupling (59) is provided. An annular permanent magnet rotor (32) is caused to rotate within a stator structure. This permanent magnet rotor is capable of being shifted laterally to engage or disengage a hysteresis drag cup output device (59). With this arrangement either an off-on output torque can be provided, or the output torque can be modulated.
