The main objects of this doctoral thesis are analysis of a small induction motor losses and research of ways how to reduce losses and increase efficiency of this motor. The ways how to reduce losses and increase efficiency under study are as follow: reduction of stator winding’s resistance, lengthening of magnetic circuit, modification of turn number, cooper squirrel cage, slots shape optimization, sheets annealing and use of sheets with lower specific losses. The losses analysis and the research of ways how to reduce losses are done due to laboratory work. For this laboratory work, eleven different samples of the motor with above mentioned modifications were manufactured. Results of their measurements and losses analysis are presented in this thesis. There were also simulations by finite elements method used to help solve objects of this thesis. Due to the simulations, analysis of loses of the induction motor under study was done. Results of this analysis include some details that are not included in the results from measurement, for example separation of core losses between rotor and stator. The simulations were also used for analysis of manufacturing technology impact onto the motor’s performance. During this analysis, following impacts were considered: actual shape of magnetic circuit, stator’s sheets riveting, influence of cutting onto material’s properties and placement of the stator into conductive frame. Results of this analysis are presented in this thesis.

The diploma thesis is concerned with evaluation of actual production technology of part “hydraulics cover” and with design of new, progressive variation machining of this part. Solution is focused at first on rationalization of cutting tools and choice of suitable cutting tools. An effort is to achieve shorter production time and decrease costs on production of component. With this problem is related alteration of technological documentation and technical economic evaluation for determination return rate of investments into progressive cutting tools.
