An electric machine includes a rotor configured to rotate about an axis of rotation, a stator having a plurality of teeth annularly arranged on a stator core about the axis of rotation, a plurality of electromagnetic coils, and a base plate. Each coil of the plurality of electromagnetic coils may be mounted on a separate tooth of the plurality of teeth, and the base plate may be located adjacent to the plurality of electromagnetic coils and the stator core. The base plate may be in thermal contact with the plurality of electromagnetic coils and the stator core such that as the plurality of electromagnetic coils and the stator core heat during operation, the base plate is configured to serve as a common heat sink for the plurality of electromagnetic coils and the stator core.

A rotor for an electric machine having a central rotor axis is disclosed herein. The rotor includes a rotor carrier and at least one permanent-magnetic, superconducting magnet device mechanically supported by the rotor carrier and having one or more superconducting magnet elements. The respective superconducting magnet element is embedded in an appropriate, assigned radially outer recess of the rotor carrier. The respective superconducting magnet element is formed by at least one strip conductor stack made up of multiple superconducting strip conductors. The respective strip conductor stack is secured in the associated recess by a radially further outer pole cap such that the pole cap holds together the individual strip conductors in the strip conductor stack. An electric machine including a rotor of this type and a method for producing a rotor of this type is also disclosed.

A winding structure of motor stator includes a stator core, two insulation members, an upper cap, a lower cap, and a coil. The two insulation members are disposed on two winding grooves of the stator core respectively. The upper cap and the lower cap are disposed on a top end and a bottom end of the stator core respectively. The coil is wound on the upper cap, the two insulation members, and the lower cap. Stopping pieces facing each other are formed on two sides of each of the upper cap and the lower cap. Each of the stopping pieces is separated from the coil without contact.

The invention relates to a slot sealing compound (7) for an electrical machine that comprises at least one slot (2) with a slot opening (5) for receiving an electrical conductor arrangement (3). Said slot sealing compound (7) contains a magnetic filler material, particularly a soft-magnetic filler material, and a reactive resin mixture that comprises at least one resin component. In the interests of improving storage stability for said slot sealing compound (7), the components thereof are selected to be suitable for cationic polymerisation. A catalyst, provided to accelerate the cationic polymerisation of said reactive resin mixture, is also added to said slot sealing compound (7).

A retention component for retaining a coil in a slot of a stator for a generator having a rotor includes a first segment and a second segment, both of which are configured to be inserted into the slot. At least one of the first and second segments is made entirely of laminated sheets that together form a unitary structure of magnetic material. At least one of the first and second segments has an interfacing surface configured to directly interface a rotor surface in the absence of a structure therebetween. A channel is between the first and second segments, and a third segment that extends along and within the channel. The third segment is less magnetic or non-magnetic than at least one of the first and second elements.

An electric machine includes a stator having teeth that define open slots and slot closers disposed in the slots. Each slot closers includes a flux bridge surrounded by a nonmagnetic case. The slot closer is disposed between adjacent ones of the teeth with the case engaging and spanning the adjacent teeth. The case forms nonmagnetic gaps between the flux bridge and the adjacent teeth, respectively, to reduce potential for torque ripple.

A stator for an electric machine having a plurality of radially extending teeth, supported by an outer annular yoke radial to the teeth, at least part of the teeth supporting a coil and the outer annular yoke having flutes of partially cylindrical shape opening towards the teeth, at least part of the teeth each having, at their end, on the side of the outer annular yoke, a protuberance of partially cylindrical shape, the protuberance being held in the flute by contact points so that at least one part of the teeth performs a relative movement having a degree of rotational and/or translational freedom relative to the annular yoke.
