Abstract
A magneto generator includes a magnet wheel 11 which carries a magnetic system. The magnetic system consists of a plurality of claw shaped pole pieces (12,13) which form extensions of two pole plates (14,15). A plate shaped permanent magnet 16 is positioned between the pole plates in a direction perpendicular to the pole wheel axis. The pole pieces arranged along the periphery of the magnet wheel are extensions of two pole plates each of which abuts one of the pole faces of the plate shaped permanent magnet. At least one of the pole plates has an extension which compensates for the unbalance of weight caused by the pole piece extensions.
Claims8
Magneto generator for an ignition system comprising
- a rotating magnet wheel (10);
- a plate shaped permanent magnet (16, 31) embedded in said magnet wheel, said permanent magnet having a first and second pole face at opposite axial sides thereof;
- a first and second pole plate (14, 15;
- 32, 33) respectively abutting said first and second pole face and located at respective first and second axial positions of said magnet wheel, each of said first and second pole plate having a radially extending portion and an axially extending claw shaped pole shoe (12, 13;
- 34, 35) located at the periphery of the wheel,
- said pole shoes being located circumferentially adjacent each other, projecting axially across said permanent magnet and spanning a minor portion of the circumference of said magnet wheel;
- and
- at least one of said pole plates having a weight compensating extension (17, 37) in the region of the magnet wheel radially opposite said pole shoes.
