Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus and corresponding method for maintaining an air gap between a stator and rotor in an electro-mechanical energy converter is provided. The apparatus includes a structural sleeve and a plurality of stator sections attached to an inner surface of the structural sleeve. A hub is enclosed by the structural sleeve and is concentric with the structural sleeve. A plurality of rotor sections is flexibly coupled to the hub and is enclosed by the structural sleeve. A rail system is positioned within the structural sleeve and is concentric with the structural sleeve. The rail system guides the rotor sections in a substantially circular path and defines an air gap between the plurality of stator sections and plurality of rotor sections. Cette invention concerne un appareil et un procédé correspondant de maintien d'un entrefer entre un stator et un rotor dans un convertisseur électromécanique. Ledit appareil comprend une chemise structurale et une pluralité de sections de stator reliées à une surface interne de la chemise structurale. Un moyeu est renfermé dans la chemise structurale de manière concentrique avec ladite chemise structurale. Une pluralité de sections de rotor est accouplée de manière flexible au moyeu et renfermée dans la chemise structurale. Un système de rails est positionné au sein de la chemise structurale de manière concentrique avec ladite chemise structurale. Ledit système de rails guide les sections de rotor sur un parcours sensiblement circulaire et il définit un entrefer entre la pluralité de sections de stator et la pluralité de sections de rotor.
