Abstract
The invention relates to a motor with a stator and a rotor, which can be driven about an axial direction. The invention is characterized in that at least one of the stator and the rotor, in particular the stator, which has a winding arrangement that can be supplied with a current, can be radially compressed and expanded.
Claims41
A motor, comprising:
- a rotor that can be driven about an axial direction wherein the rotor comprises an encapsulation;
- and
- a stator, which has a winding arrangement that can be supplied with a current;
- wherein the stator is radially compressible and expandable, and wherein the winding arrangement has at least one sub-winding, which is reversibly deformable, wherein the rotor and the stator are configured to be displaced relative to one another in the axial direction between a first position, in which the stator is radially compressible, and a second position, in which the stator is radially expanded.

A method for positioning a motor comprising a rotor, a stator and a connection element, the method comprising:
- inserting a stator and a rotor through a channel to a target position, wherein at least the stator is radially compressed and wherein the rotor comprises an encapsulation;
- and
- inserting the encapsulated rotor into the stator thereby radially expanding the stator thereafter, by causing relative movement of the stator and rotor via the connection element.
A pump comprising:
- a motor comprising a rotor that can be driven about an axial direction wherein the rotor comprises an encapsulation;
- and
- a stator, which has a winding arrangement that can be supplied with a current;
- wherein the stator is radially compressible and expandable, and wherein the winding arrangement has at least one sub-winding, which is reversibly deformable, wherein the rotor and the stator are configured to be displaced relative to one another in the axial direction between a first position, in which the stator is radially compressible, and a second position, in which the stator is radially expanded.
