Abstract
An electric motor may have a housing (which may be round), and a rotor that rotates on a rotor shaft, located within that housing. Hinged levers between the housing and the stator may be pivotable radially on the housing. Forces from the stator in the circumferential direction may be transferred rigidly to the housing by the hinged levers. The hinged levers may allow for radial movements and deformations of the stator upon receipt of these forces.
Claims14
An electric machine, comprising:
- a housing,
- a stator located in the housing that is fixed from rotation relative to the housing,
- a rotor that rotates on a rotor shaft, and
- at least one fastening element that connects the stator to the housing such that the connection is rigid in a circumferential direction, and such that the connection is flexible in a radial direction.
