CLAW POLE MOTOR WITH A RING COIL AND A MEANDERING COIL

Abstract:

A claw-pole motor having a rotor assembly orientated about a longitudinal axis, a stator assembly having a first plurality of stator teeth and a second plurality of stator teeth orientated radially about the longitudinal axis and extending axially in opposite directions to each other and alternating about the longitudinal axis, a first gap in the stator assembly orientated about the longitudinal axis, a second gap orientated about the longitudinal axis and extending both axially and radially between the first plurality of stator teeth and the second plurality of stator teeth, first electromagnetic windings disposed in the first gap and second electromagnetic windings disposed in the second gap, the first and second windings configured to be selectively energized to exert a torque on the rotor assembly.
