Abstract
A motor apparatus having a rotor that includes one or more permanent magnets disposed in ring-like manner, wherein similar poles of adjacent magnets face one another, and further wherein a gear mechanism (e.g., a toothed ring) is configured to transfer rotation from the rotor to an external gear mechanism. The motor may also include a stator comprising one or more solenoids and a bearing assembly that includes a rotating bearing element integrated with a toothed element for engaging with a gear and axle assembly. The rotating bearing element and integrated toothed gear element may pass through cavities of the main solenoids and provide for minimal cavity size, improving motor efficiencies.
Claims11
An electric motor comprising a rotor and a stator:
- the stator comprising one or more main solenoids, each comprising a cavity;
- the rotor comprising a plurality of permanent magnets disposed in a ring-like manner, wherein similar poles of adjacent magnets face one another;
- and further comprising a gear mechanism for interfacing with an axle gear mechanism;
- a bearing assembly comprising an inner and outer ring with one or more bearings disposed therebetween, wherein the inner ring is stationary and the outer ring is movable relative to the inner ring, and further wherein the outer ring comprises the gear mechanism for interfacing with the axle gear mechanism;
- wherein the permanent magnets are arranged to pass through the cavities of the main solenoids.
