Abstract

According to the invention, the torque ripple of electrical machines is supposed to be further reduced. For this purpose, it is provided to dispose the magnetic poles, for example, on the surface of a rotor in a plurality of sections (A 1 , A 2 ) at different angles. The result are helix angles (β 1, β2 ), which have different amounts. Also more than two different helix angles, up to a continuous course of the boundary lines (G 4 ) between the poles, can be implemented.

Claims (11)

1. An electrical machine, comprising:

a first component;

a second component, which is magnetically coupled to the first component and movable in a movement direction with respect to the second component; and

a magnet pole arrangement, which is formed on the first component and has poles which are aligned in the movement direction and alternate in a first magnetic field direction and in a second magnetic field direction, which is opposite to the first magnetic field direction, wherein a boundary between poles of different magnetic field directions runs corresponding to a first skew angle in a first area of the first component and corresponding to a second skew angle relative to the movement direction in a second area of the first component, wherein the first skew angle has a different magnitude than the second skew angle, and wherein the boundary runs at three different skew angles.

2. The electrical machine of claim 1 , wherein the first component is a rotor and the second component is a stator.

3. The electrical machine of claim 1 , constructed in the form of a linear motor having a primary part represented by the first component and a secondary part represented by the second component.

4. The electrical machine of claim 1 , wherein an extent of the boundary in the first area in the movement direction is equal to an extent of the boundary in the second area.

5. The electrical machine of claim 1 , wherein an extent of the boundary in the first area in the movement direction is greater than an extent of the boundary in the second area.

6. The electrical machine of claim 1 , wherein the boundary has a profile which is essentially centro-symmetrical transversely with respect to the movement direction.

7. The electrical machine of claim 1 , wherein the boundary runs essentially sinusoidally.

8. The electrical machine of claim 1 , wherein the boundary has a profile which is quantized.
