| 20100054005 | RECTIFIER ASSEMBLY - A rotating rectifier includes diode subassemblies that each have an AC contact between two diodes, held in place by a spring clip or interference fit between an inner DC bus and an outer DC bus. The outer DC bus can also act as a housing and heat sink. Diodes and resistors are distributed around the rotating rectifier. Zener diodes can be included in series with the resistors to provide further protection to the diodes to ensure proper operation of the rectifier. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100277030 | LAMINATED STATOR ASSEMBLY - A stator core for a generator includes a multiple of core laminations along an axis, each of the multiple of core laminations define at least one leg which extends in a radial direction from the axis. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100283338 | OIL FILTER BYPASS VALVE ASSEMBLY FOR A GENERATOR - A bypass valve assembly for a generator includes a spring cover with a flange which extends in a radial direction from a spring cover body. The spring cover body defines an overall length dimension, the overall length dimension to an end of the spring cover body to the flange dimension defines a ratio between 1.6:1-1.2:1. The bypass valve assembly also includes a valve sleeve with a multiple of windows. Each of the multiple of windows includes a longitudinal edge which defines a longitudinal edge radius and corner radius. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100283341 | DECOUPLER SHAFT FOR HIGH SPEED GENERATOR - A clutch member for use in a generator clutch has actuation structure including a face with a ramp. The ramp has a ramp angle of between 6.2° and 6.4°. The clutch member may be a sliding decoupler shaft. In addition, a rotor and a generator including the clutch members are also disclosed and claimed. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100283342 | HIGH SPEED CLUTCH DESIGN WITH JAW TOOTH PROFILE TO REDUCE SEPARATING LOAD - A shaft for a clutch member comprises an engagement portion having a plurality of teeth spaced about a shaft centerline. The teeth have a tooth profile with a negative rake angle. The negative rake angle is between 1° and 2°. The teeth have a chamfer angle between the face of the negative rake and the face of the clutch end surface. The chamfer angle is between 65° and 75°. A rotor assembly for a generator, a generator and a method are also disclosed and claimed. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100284835 | PUMP GEAR AND PUMP ASSEMBLY FOR A GENERATOR - A pump gear includes a pump gear body having involute teeth that each have an involute surface that extends between a tooth tip and a tooth base. The involute surface includes at least reference points A-D, with reference point A near the base, reference point D near the tip, reference point B between reference points A and D, and reference point C between reference points B and D. The reference points A-D have associated respective roll angles, ε | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100284836 | IDLER GEAR AND JOURNAL BEARING ASSEMBLY FOR A GENERATOR - A generator includes an aluminum housing having an end plate secured to a housing portion. The housing portion and the end plate respectively include first and second bores. The end plate includes a wall with a boss providing a bore. The wall provides a lubrication passage in fluid communication with the bore. An idler gear includes a shaft having opposing first and second ends respectively supported in the first and second bores. A generator is arranged within the housing and is rotationally coupled to the idler gear. First and second impregnated carbon journal bearings respectively include a first inner and outer bearing diameter and a second inner and outer bearing diameter. The first and second outer bearing diameters are in press fit relationship with the first and second bores respectively. The inner diameters are fixed relative to their respective outer diameter. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100327684 | IDLER GEAR FOR A GENERATOR - A gear set for a generator includes a first gear having a first set of involute teeth and a second gear having a second set of involute teeth circumferentially located about a center axis of rotation. Each set of involute teeth includes respective roll angles, ε | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110001375 | GENERATOR ROTOR BEARING PRELOAD METHOD AND APPARATUS - A generator has its length shortened by placing springs in a space in a casing that includes an output shaft, which is driven by an input shaft, and a yoke for separating the two shafts. The generator is assembled by placing a spring in a space in a casing having a first part. The space also has a yoke in it. A rotor bearing is placed in the space adjacent to and impinging upon the spring. A second part of the casing is attached to the first part of the casing so that the spring is pre-loaded therein. The generator also utilizes a guide for holding a spring. The generator also has a thrust plate for applying a force of the springs upon the rotor bearing. | 01-06-2011 |
