Abstract
An axial flux machine and a method for installing an axial flux machine has at least two active parts in a motor housing, of which active parts a first active part is configured as a rotor having a number of permanent magnets and a second active part is configured as a stator having a number of electrical windings, wherein the rotor and the stator are arranged adjacent to each other and in a rotation-proof manner, in a transport configuration in a space-saving package, in particular a stack, formed by the magnetic attractive forces of the permanent magnets.
Claims8
A method for installing an axial flux machine with a rotor and a stator in a motor housing, the method comprising:
- configuring the rotor as a first active part with a number of permanent magnets and the stator as a second active part with a number of electrical windings;
- arranging the rotor and the stator adjacent to each other in a rotation-fixed manner to form a compact transport configuration as a stack, wherein magnetic attractive forces between the permanent magnets maintain adjacent positioning, such that at least in partial regions, the rotor is in direct contact with the stator, without clearance or an air gap;
- introducing the transport configuration into the motor housing and positioning it therein;
- utilizing a first mechanical stop arranged on the motor housing to support at least one of the active parts;
- employing a tension and/or compression element arranged on the motor housing to increase a distance between the rotor and the stator, thereby creating at least one operational air gap between the rotor and the stator, counteracting the magnetic attractive forces of the permanent magnets.
