Abstract

An electromechanical device includes a rotor having a magnetic back yoke with a cylindrical shape, and at least one rotor magnet arranged along an outer periphery of the magnetic back yoke in a cylindrical manner, a stator having at least one air-core magnetic coil arranged along an outer periphery of the rotor in a cylindrical manner, and a coil back yoke with a cylindrical shape disposed on an outer periphery of the magnetic coil arranged in a cylindrical manner, and a casing adapted to cover the stator and the rotor, wherein at least a part of the casing is formed of carbon fiber reinforced plastic.

Claims (31)

1. An electromechanical device comprising:

a rotor having

a magnetic back yoke with a cylindrical shape, and

at least one rotor magnet arranged along an outer periphery of the magnetic back yoke in a cylindrical manner;

a stator having

at least one air-core magnetic coil arranged along an outer periphery of the rotor in a cylindrical manner, and

a coil back yoke with a cylindrical shape disposed on an outer periphery of the magnetic coil arranged in a cylindrical manner; and

a casing adapted to cover the stator and the rotor,

wherein at least apart of the casing is formed of carbon fiber reinforced plastic.

2. The electromechanical device according to claim 1 , wherein

the casing is formed of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic in apart covering an outer peripheral part of the coil back yoke.

3. The electromechanical device according to claim 1 , wherein

the casing is entirely formed of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic.

4. The electromechanical device according to claim 1 , wherein

a central part of the rotor is formed of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic.

5. The electromechanical device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a rotating mechanism section housed inside the rotor, and coupled to the rotor.

6. The electromechanical device according to claim 5 , wherein

the rotating mechanism section is formed of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic in an interlocking rotating section rotating in tandem with the rotor.

7. A movable body comprising the electromechanical device according to claim 1 .

8. A movable body comprising the electromechanical device according to claim 2 .

9. A movable body comprising the electromechanical device according to claim 3 .

10. A movable body comprising the electromechanical device according to claim 4 .

11. A movable body comprising the electromechanical device according to claim 5 .

12. A movable body comprising the electromechanical device according to claim 6 .

13. A robot comprising the electromechanical device according to claim 1 .

14. A robot comprising the electromechanical device according to claim 2 .

15. A robot comprising the electromechanical device according to claim 3 .

16. A robot comprising the electromechanical device according to claim 4 .

17. A robot comprising the electromechanical device according to claim 5 .

18. A robot comprising the electromechanical device according to claim 6 .
