A direct current machine construction in which the rotor includes a permanent magnet with the stator including winding energizable from a direct current source. In a first embodiment first and second stationary slip rings are connected to an external direct current source. Coupled for rotation with the shaft are to first and second brush assemblies with brushes which are spring biased and protrude radially outwardly from the rotor shaft. The commutator for the windings is stationary relative to the housing and includes a plurality of commutator segments positioned intermediate the slip rings and in a cylindrical manner facing inwardly toward, and for contact with, the commutator brushes. The windings are on the stator with the winding leads being accessible externally of the stator for enabling switching devices to be utilized for changing of the number of turns of the stator windings for thereby varying the motor characteristics, as needed. The switching devices may be mechanical switch devices or static semiconductor switch devices. In a second embodiment, commutation is effected by non-contact position sensing devices, such as encoder wheels, optical devices and the like, operable in response to a rotating device keyed to the rotor shaft, which device is positioned for electromagnetic accuracy relative to the pole positions of the stator of the machine. With accessible external leads, the machine may be alternately used as a propulsion motor, generator or alternator in the same device for returning power to the direct current source. |

A small motor having a planar air gap has a rotor comprising a rotor shaft journalled in a carrier pipe of small diameter at whose outer periphery are mounted shape-retaining rotor coils which are cantilevered out into the air gap. This provides a rotor of very small axial moment of inertia, affording very short start-up times. The printed circuit collector has lamella-group connectors on both sides of the substrate. Such a motor is suitable especially for signal-recording or -reproducing apparatus. The arrangement of the rotor coils is symmetrical and yields a very simple and compact motor construction. |

Permanent magnets are used to perform useful work. The field of a first permanent magnet is diverted by electromagnetic coils to such a low value that another opposing permanent magnet can approach the first magnet without the application of undue force. The field in the first magnet is restored to act on the second magnet so as to repel it. The force which results may be harnessed to effect reciprocal or rotary motion. |

A direct-current motor has a housing in which a stator and a rotor are mounted. A commutator is located in the housing but spaced from the stator and the rotor and subdivided from the same by a transverse housing wall. A magnetic coupling having two relatively rotatable elements is mounted in the housing extending through the transverse wall and the two elements define with one another an air gap in which a hood-like partition is located which is sealingly connected with the transverse wall so that the commutator is sealingly separated from the stator and rotor but is driven by one of the parts of the magnetic coupling which in turn is magnetically driven by the other part of the coupling that receives torque from the shaft of the motor. |

A centerless brushless DC motor having a cylindrical housing containing thrust bearings mounting a rigid cylindrical drive tube for rotation about a central axis, wherein the internal surface of the drive tube defines a cylindrical passageway extending through the motor housing. A plurality of permanent magnets forming an annular ring are secured to the outer surface of the drive tube for rotation therewith. A cylindrical stator core fixedly secured within the housing around the drive tube is wound for presenting a plurality of induced magnetic poles at raised field pole pieces cooperatively aligned with and in close proximity to the rotating permanent magnets. An annular slip-ring assembly having a plurality of slip-ring elements eccentrically movable around the central axis provides selective sequential energization of the stator windings from a DC source responsive to rotation of the drive tube, creating an induction-repulsion state between the induced and permanent magnetic fields which exerts a continuous rotational torque upon the drive tube. A centerless helical propulsion member may be secured to the drive tube, providing a weedless boat propulsion motor having significantly increased thrust ratings.

This invention relates to improved direct current motors where an auxiliary path is provided for the flow of reactive energy associated with motor winding inductances during fast changes in current. These changes occur while the brushes move from one commutator segment to another during motor rotation. The auxiliary path limits the induced voltage automatically to a predetermined maximum value thus allowing higher motor speed, higher power density and longer life.

A direct current rotary apparatus of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,631,273, of which the present disclosure is a continuation-in-part, the improvement comprising a commutator switch having two arcuate blades, mounted for rotation with the rotor and evenly spaced thereon, and stationary segments connected to the stator coils. The segments are of like angular width and arranged in a circle for contact by the rotating blades which have an angular width approaching, but not greater than, 180* less the angular width of one of the segments. Thus, the stator coils are excited at all times except the relatively short time each blade contacts only one segment, when switching occurs.

A brushless direct current motor operating through the interaction of a permanent magnet field with a commutated electro-magnetic field of changing polarity wherein current is carried from the external circuit to the windings of the armature by magnetic reed switches, each switch connected at one end to the external circuit and at the other end to the terminal of successive armature windings.
