20090285624 | APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF MACHINERY COMPONENTS TOGETHER - Apparatus for preventing incorrect installation of machinery components together includes a tab, pin and pin-receiving hole. The tab on the seal plate protrudes angularly from its periphery and laterally beyond it so as to prevent incorrect installation of two seal plates together in a faulty sealing relationship with machinery components by their tabs making interfering contact with one another producing a visible gap between the two seal plates. The pin is mounted on and protrudes axially from a surface of one machinery component facing the seal plate and prevents incorrect installation of the machinery components together in a faulty sealing relationship without the seal plate between them by the pin contacting the surface of the other machinery component and producing a gap between the machinery components. The hole extends through the seal plate to receive the pin within it when one seal plate is correctly installed between the machinery components. | 11-19-2009 |

20100176683 | WOUND FIELD ELECTRICAL MACHINE FLAT BRAIDED WIRE MAIN ROTOR CROSSOVER ASSEMBLY - A high speed aircraft generator may utilize a prefabricated crossover subassembly to interconnect field coils. The crossover may include two attachment leads interconnected with a section of braided wire. The braided wire may remain free of brazing filler metal after the crossover subassembly is brazed into position between field coils of the generator. Consequently, the crossover may remain flexible and may have reduced susceptibility to fatigue failure that may otherwise result from circumferential relative displacement of the field coils from one another during changes of rotational speed of the field coils. | 07-15-2010 |

20150022034 | GENERATOR ASSEMBLY FOR HIGH AXIAL VIBRATION INPUT - A generator assembly may include a bearing liner and a bearing retainer configured to reduce vibration response in a bearing assembly under high frequency operation of a rotor. The bearing liner may be configured to provide a clearance between the bearing assembly and an adjacent housing/bearing liner to prevent high vibration output from the bearing assembly on for example, the rotor shaft. The bearing retainer may include a recess to accommodate axial movement of the bearing assembly in response to rotation of the rotor. In some embodiments, the bearing retainer may include a dampener to dampen contact of the bearing assembly with the retainer. | 01-22-2015 |

20080315730 | HIGH SPEED GENERATOR ROTOR FIELD COIL LEAD RETENTION SYSTEM - A high speed aircraft generator utilizes a resistor bobbin to constrain field leads from radial displacement during operation of the generator. The resistor bobbin is provided with passages through which the field leads are passed. The passages are parallel to an axis of the generator. The resistor bobbin thus serves two purposes in the generator; its normal function of supporting a resistor coil and a second function of constraining field leads. The field leads have a round cross-sectional configuration. The field leads are attached to flat conductors of a field coil with a unique brazing clip. | 12-25-2008 |
20090137324 | AXIAL IMPACT SHAFT SYSTEM - A stub shaft of a main rotor shaft of a generator has its flange or shoulder removed from its outer portion so in the event of a bending failure of the stub shaft the resulting axial load of the stub shaft is not transmitted to the main rotor shaft. Instead of a retention plug adjacent the distal end of the inside portion of the stub shaft, a knock out plug is lightly press-fit into the main rotor shaft. In the event of a failure, the outside portion of the stub shaft enters the main rotor shaft without applying an axial load onto the main rotor shaft, moves axially and displaces the knock-out plug without exiting the main rotor shaft. | 05-28-2009 |
20090184691 | DUAL PURPOSE PERMANENT MAGNET EXCITER - A permanent magnet rotor of a generator is used to excite a permanent magnet stator to generate electric power for the generator and to control a disengagement mechanism whereby the generator can disengage from an accessory, such as a gear box drive shaft, when the generator is not working properly. The permanent magnet is affixed to an outer ball screw which normally rotates with an inner ball screw that is operatively engaged to the accessory. An increased load to the permanent magnet stator slows or stops rotation of the permanent magnet rotor and outer ball screw, causing the inner ball screw to move axially from the outer ball screw and away from an accessory and toward a re-settable lock. | 07-23-2009 |
