| 20090133494 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BALANCING A ROTOR - A midlength balanced rotor comprises a rotor assembly for rotation about an axis of rotation defining at least one of an axially extended, radially concentric, centerline borehole; an array of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended pockets; and a series of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended slots. At least one balance weight is positioned within at least one of the axially extended, radially concentric, centerline borehole, the array of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended pockets, or the radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended slots to balance the rotor assembly. Alternatively, at least one balance correcting mass is removed from at least one of the axially extended, radially concentric, centerline borehole, the array of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended pockets, or the radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended slots to balance the rotor assembly. In addition, a method of midlength balancing a rotor comprises the steps of providing a rotor assembly with at least one of an axially extended, radially concentric, centerline borehole; an array of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended pockets; and a series of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended slots; rotating the rotor shaft about an axis of rotation; determining unbalance of the rotor shaft; and adding or removing weight to at least one of said an axially extended, radially concentric, centerline borehole; array of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended pockets; or series of radially or tangentially distributed, axially extended slots, to balance the rotor shaft. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20100237723 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THERMAL MANAGEMENT IN ELECTRICAL MACHINES - A cooling system for an electrical machine is provided. The cooling system includes at least one baffle enclosing multiple endwindings, wherein the at least one baffle is configured to guide a cooling fluid flow to multiple regions of interest in the machine. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20110049109 | ENCAPSULATED MAGNET ASSEMBLY AND PROCESS FOR MAKING - A process of forming an encapsulated magnet assembly is provided, the process comprising welding a second portion of a housing cover formed of a non-magnetic material to a first portion of a housing cover formed of a magnetic material to provide a welded housing cover and subsequently heat-treating the welded housing cover at a temperature effective to relieve weld stress; disposing a magnet within a housing comprising at least one wall formed of the non-magnetic material and defining at least one aperture; and welding the heat treated welded housing cover to the housing such that the second portion of the housing cover is fixedly attached to the housing wall to hermetically seal the aperture. In one embodiment, the magnet of the encapsulated magnet assembly is a permanent magnet, and in an alternate embodiment an electromagnet. In one embodiment the encapsulated magnet assembly is a component of a stator-rotor assembly. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20080218008 | Rotor and Stator Assemblies that Utilize Magnetic Bearings for Use in Corrosive Environments - Rotor and stator assemblies that utilize magnetic bearings for supporting the rotor shall during operation can be suitably used in corrosive environments, such as sour gas. The rotor and stator assemblies include NACE compliant magnetic bearing arrangements for sour gas applications. One embodiment includes the use of barrier layers disposed on selected exposed surfaces of the rotor shaft assembly and/or stator assembly. Also disclosed are processes for forming encapsulated stators that exhibit improved corrosion resistance, as well as corrosion resistant materials for backup bearing races and landing sleeves. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080218015 | ENCAPSULATED STATOR ASSEMBLY AND PROCESS FOR MAKING - Rotor and stator assemblies that utilize magnetic bearings for supporting the rotor shaft during operation can be suitably used in corrosive environments, such as sour gas. The rotor and stator assemblies include NACE compliant magnetic bearing arrangements for sour gas applications. One embodiment includes a stator assembly that comprises a stator sleeve formed of a magnetic material, a sleeve extender coaxial to the stator sleeve formed of a non-magnetic material fixedly attached to each end of the stator sleeve, wherein a point of attachment is heat treated, and a wall formed of the non-magnetic material fixedly attached to the sleeve extender configured to hermetically house a stator and form the encapsulated stator assembly. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080219834 | Rotor Shaft Assembly for Magnetic Bearings for Use in Corrosive Environments - Rotor and stator assemblies that utilize magnetic bearings for supporting the rotor shaft during operation can be suitably used in corrosive environments, such as sour gas. The rotor and stator assemblies include NACE compliant magnetic bearing arrangements for sour gas applications. In one embodiment, a rotor shaft assembly for a magnetic bearing arrangement comprises a rotor shaft formed of a ferromagnetic material comprising a plurality of rotor laminations disposed on the rotor shaft; and a barrier layer formed on selected exposed surfaces of the rotor shaft, wherein the barrier layer is effective to resist corrosion relative to the surface without the barrier layer. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20110043063 | ENCAPSULATED MAGNET ASSEMBLY AND PROCESS FOR MAKING - The present invention provides an encapsulated magnet assembly, comprising (a) a magnet disposed within a housing, said housing comprising at least one wall and defining at least one aperture; and (b) a housing cover; the housing cover comprising a first portion made of a magnetic material and a second portion made of a non-magnetic material, wherein the housing cover is configured to hermetically seal said aperture, the first portion being fixedly attached to the second portion wherein a point of attachment is heat treated; and wherein the housing wall is formed of the non-magnetic material and is fixedly attached to the second portion of the housing cover. In one embodiment, the magnet of the encapsulated magnet assembly is a permanent magnet, and in an alternate embodiment an electromagnet. In one embodiment the encapsulated magnet assembly is a component of a stator-rotor assembly. | 02-24-2011 |
