A adjustable Hall effect sensor system having a sensor positioning component is described. In one embodiment, the Hall effect sensor system is an independently adjustable sensor system, having a plurality of Hall effect sensor, wherein one Hall effect sensor may be displaced and adjusted without effecting the location of another Hall effect sensor. A sensor positioning component comprising a paddle coupled to a main body portion by a more narrow neck is described. A cam may be configured on a paddle and provide for fine tuning the position of a Hall effect sensor. In one embodiment the main body and extensions are comprised essentially of a circuit board.

Electrical machines, for example transverse flux machines and/or commutated flux machines, may be configured to achieve increased efficiency, increased output torque, and/or reduced operating losses via use of laminated materials in connection with powdered metal materials. For example, stacks of laminated materials may be coupled to powdered metal teeth to form portions of a stator in an electrical machine.

Transverse and/or commutated flux systems having laminated and powdered metal portions

Electrical machines, for example transverse flux machines and/or commutated flux machines, may be configured to achieve increased efficiency, increased output torque, and/or reduced operating losses via use of laminated materials, for example laminated materials configured with cuts and/or segmentations. Segmentations may also assist with manufacturability, mechanical retention of components, and the like.

Transverse and/or commutated flux systems having segmented stator laminations

Electrical machines, for example transverse flux machines and/or commutated flux machines, may be configured to achieve reduced overall cogging torque via implementation of a sixth-phase offset. Individual cogging torque waveforms in the electrical machine may be evenly distributed across one-sixth of a voltage phase or other suitable spacing, resulting in a reduced magnitude and/or increased sinusoidality of the overall cogging torque waveform for the electrical machine.

Transverse and/or commutated flux systems having phase offset

An electrical machine comprising a rotor, a coil and a stator comprising a lamination stack coupled to a tooth, wherein the electrical machine is at least one of a transversal flux machine is described. The electrical machine may be a transversal flux machine such as a transverse or commutated flux machine. A lamination ring is described comprising a plurality of lamination stacks. A lamination stack may comprise a plurality of trenches configured to retain a plurality of teeth. The tooth may comprise a portion of the switching surface, and a portion of a lamination stack may extend to the surface of the tooth to make up a portion of the switching surface. The electrical machine may be configured with a constant air gap, wherein no more than 15% variability in the distance between the stator switching surface and the rotor switching surface.

Electrical machines, for example transverse flux machines and/or commutated flux machines, may be configured to achieve increased efficiency, increased output torque, and/or reduced operating losses via use of extended magnets, overhung rotors, and/or stator tooth overlap. Extended magnets may reduce flux leakage between adjacent flux concentrators. Overhung rotors may reduce flux leakage, and may also facilitate voltage balancing in polyphase devices. Stator tooth overlap may reduce hysteresis losses, for example losses in flux concentrating portions of an electrical machine.

Transverse and/or commutated flux systems configured to provide reduced flux leakage, hysteresis loss reduction, and phase matching

Electrical machines, for example transverse flux machines and/or commutated flux machines, may be configured to be coupled to an electric bicycle or other light electric vehicle. Certain exemplary electrical machines may be configured with a high torque density and/or lower operating losses, providing improved operational characteristics to an e-bike. Moreover, certain exemplary electrical machines may replace a gear cassette on a bicycle, allowing conversion of the bicycle from manual to electric operation.
