Direct traction drive locomotive with the division stator and rotor

Known designs direct traction drive does not completely solve the problem of a significant increase in the reliability and durability of the wheel-motor unit because they contain parts subject to wear and failures in service (bearings for the axle to compensate for the clutch), the replacement of which may require the dissolution of the wheel pair. The design of the direct drive traction to the rotor of wheel-motor on the axle and the stator, suspended from the bogie frame does not contain parts subject to wear, where to ensure the sustainability of the current switching converter, a correction that takes into account the movement of the wheelset relative to the bogie frame. It identified a number of requirements for such a drive structure. There is a sense for research designs disk valve-inductor engines as possible directions of development of the proposed drive.
