Abstract
A unitary supporting structure for enclosing the superconducting field assembly of a dynamoelectric machine has a drive shaft portion for transmitting torque from a prime mover to the field assembly and a tubular portion integrally formed with the drive shaft portion. The tubular portion has a circumferentially extending outer wall which in combination with the drive shaft portion defines a chamber having a closed end with which the drive shaft portion is integrally formed and an opened end for receiving the field assembly. The field assembly is secured to the unitary supporting structure within the chamber in a cantilever mounting arrangement. The chamber is closed by means of an end plate to which a support shaft is affixed. The support shaft cooperates with the drive shaft portion to support the unitary structure for rotational movement within an annular stator member.
