Rotor for use in an electrical machine includes a shaft, four cylindrical claw segments on the shaft and an electric coil between first and third claw segments to generate a magnetic field.

摘要

A generator rotor (320) has first (326) and second (328) claw segments mounted on opposing ends of a rotor shaft (322). A third centred claw segment (332) fits on the rotor shaft between first and second claw segments. A wound field coil (324) fits on the rotor shaft. An axial flow permanent magnet (336) fits on the rotor shaft between second and third claw segments.
