ROTOR FOR AN ELECTRIC MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240055919 titled 'ROTOR FOR AN ELECTRIC MACHINE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electric machine with a stator and a rotor made up of stacked electrical steel laminations forming a slot with a bridge at one end.
- The electric machine includes a stator and a rotor.
- The rotor is made up of stacked electrical steel laminations.
- The laminations form a slot with a bridge at one end.
- The bridge extends between electrical steel on opposing sides of the slot.
- The bridge is located beneath the outer diameter surface of the rotor.
- The bridge forms a base of a channel open at the outer diameter surface of the rotor.
