Abstract
A lubricant supported electric motor includes a static member and a movable member movably disposed within the static member to define a gap therebetween. The static member may be configured as a stator and the movable member may be configured as a rotor. The movable member may also be configured to move relative to the static member. The static member and movable member are configured to exert an electromagnetic force therebetween and convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and move the movable member. A lubricant is disposed in the gap between the static member and the movable member to support the movable member relative to the static member.
Claims20
An electric motor comprising:
- a static member configured as a stator;
- a movable member configured as a rotor and moveable disposed within the stator to define a gap therebetween, the static member and movable member configured to exert an electromagnetic force therebetween and convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and move the movable member;
- and
- a lubricant disposed in the gap between the static member and the movable member to support the movable member relative to the static member.
An electric motor comprising:
- a static member configured as a plurality of stator coils;
- a movable member, the movable member configured as a band and as a rotor and movably disposed within the stator to define a gap therebetween, the static member and movable member configured to exert an electromagnetic force therebetween and convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and move the movable member;
- and
- a lubricant disposed in the gap between the plurality of stator coils of the static member and the band of the movable member to support the movable member relative to the static member.
An electric motor comprising:
- a static member configured as a stator;
- a movable member, the movable member configured as a drive chain and as a rotor and movably disposed within the stator to define a gap therebetween, the static member and movable member configured to exert an electromagnetic force therebetween and convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and move the movable member;
- and
- a lubricant disposed in the gap between the plurality of stator coils of the static member and the band of the movable member to support the movable member relative to the static member.
