ABSTRACT:
An integral turbocharger-electric motor assembly permits the elements of an operating electric motor and turbocharger to be easily assembled into a relatively compact and reliable operating unit. To act as an electric motor rotor, the turbocharger shaft carries a magnet assembly in its central portion between the shaft bearings, in such proximity to the stator windings to provide electromagnetic coupling for the effective conversion of electric energy applied to the stator winding into rotational force applied by the magnet assembly to the turbocharger shaft. The magnet assembly includes a plurality of permanent magnets located around a central core and secured against centrifugal force on a non-magnetic outer sleeve. Such magnet assemblies are preferably formed as a unit that can be assembled onto the turbocharger shaft by retaining an annular arrangement of motor magnets in an assembly between central and outer sleeves.
