Multi-phase transverse magnetic flux machine

A multi-phase transverse flux machine comprising:

• a primary component and a secondary component,
• said primary component including individual bundles of lamination elements which are spaced at a mutual separation distance along a longitudinal direction of the machine,
• each said bundle of lamination elements having leg members, each of said leg members extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the machine, said leg members being spaced at a mutual separation distance and being arranged in respective rows, said rows extending in said longitudinal direction,
• a respective exciting winding serving to excite each said row of leg members,
• said exciting windings being excited so that the flux in the transverse direction at the various leg members reaches a maximum in a sequence,
• said secondary component including rows of permanent magnet elements, said rows each extending in the longitudinal direction of the machine, said rows of permanent magnet elements being disposed next to each other in the transverse direction of the machine, and each said row being associated with a row of leg members of the lamination element bundles,
• said permanent magnet elements being disposed at a distance from the free ends of the corresponding leg members,
• in each said row of permanent magnet elements said permanent magnet elements being arrayed in a sequence of alternating polarity,
• each said longitudinal row of permanent magnet elements being displaced in the longitudinal direction of the machine with respect to a nearest neighboring row so that when the exciting windings are excited, said secondary element is caused to move in the longitudinal direction of the machine, and
• two primary components disposed such that sides of the primary components, oppositely disposed from the free leg ends, being arranged in adjoining fashion and a secondary component being associated with each primary component.
