A method for repairing or servicing a wye ring of a generator includes the steps of, dismantling the generator to gain access to the wye ring, determining a fault location in the wye ring; and attaching a patch to the wye ring in an area of the fault location. The patch provides an electrical path around the fault location so that the generator is repaired.

A method for manufacturing a curvilinear track section including: forming a curvilinear track portion; cutting out a first slot grouping from an exterior edge of the curvilinear track portion, wherein the first slot grouping is at a first predetermined angle; cutting out a second slot grouping from the exterior edge of the curvilinear track portion, wherein the second slot grouping is at a second predetermined angle; and inserting motor units into the first and second slot groupings. A curvilinear track section having: a curvilinear track portion; a first slot grouping formed in an exterior edge of the curvilinear track portion, wherein the first slot grouping is at a predetermined angle relative to the exterior edge; a second slot grouping formed in the exterior edge of the curvilinear track portion, wherein the second slot grouping is at a second predetermined angle; and motor units inserted into the first and second slot groupings.

A method of assembling an integrated drive generator includes the steps of providing a bore in a center housing portion, pressing a bearing liner into the bore, with a portion of the bearing liner extending proud of a surface of the center plate, and machining the surface around and adjacent to the bearing liner to provide a machined surface parallel to the surface.

A micromechanical component includes a mount; a drive body on which at least one coil device is disposed and which is connected to the mount by way of at least one spring such that the drive body can be set into a driving motion by an interaction of a current conducted through the at least one coil device and a magnetic field present at the at least one coil device; and a control element connected to the drive body such a manner that a setting of the drive body into a driving motion causes the control element to be set into a deflection motion with at least one motion component directed about a rotation axis. At least one connecting element disposes the drive body and control element relative to each other such that the rotation axis extends at a spacing from a center of gravity of the drive body.

A flat wire (36) that forms a stator coil (16) has an insertion portion (22) that is inserted into a slot (14), and a coil end portion (30) that protrudes from an end portion of the stator coil (16). An insulating layer of an adjacent portion (38) that is adjacent to a flat wire (36) of a different phase at the coil end portion (30) is thicker than an insulating layer in another region. Setting the thickness of the insulating layer of each part according to the required insulation performance in this way makes it possible to make the overall insulating layer thinner, and improve the in-slot space factor of the stator coil while ensuring insulation performance.

A commutator is formed by providing an electrically insulating commutator body. First and second areas are defined on the commutator body covering a brush contact surface in an alternating manner. At least the surfaces of the first areas are formed of laser direct structured material. The first areas are treated by a laser to form metal particle layers. Conductive layers are formed on the metal particle layers by a plating process to form commutator segments. Terminals are connected to the conductive layers for connecting the commutator to rotor windings.

A method for manufacturing a laminated core for a motor comprises the steps of: stamping a sheet of a core of a straight form to have a form that a plurality of split cores are connected; laminating sheets of the core perpendicularly; bending the sheets of the core in a round form; and forming a connection caulking part at contact parts of yokes, which are adjacent to each other, of the bended core.

A method for manufacturing a curvilinear track section including: forming a curvilinear track portion; cutting out a first slot grouping from an exterior edge of the curvilinear track portion, wherein the first slot grouping is at a first predetermined angle; cutting out a second slot grouping from the exterior edge of the curvilinear track portion, wherein the second slot grouping is at a second predetermined angle; and inserting motor units into the first and second slot groupings. A curvilinear track section having: a curvilinear track portion; a first slot grouping formed in an exterior edge of the curvilinear track portion, wherein the first slot grouping is at a predetermined angle relative to the exterior edge; a second slot grouping formed in the exterior edge of the curvilinear track portion, wherein the second slot grouping is at a second predetermined angle; and motor units inserted into the first and second slot groupings.

An end plate for an electric machine includes: a bearing receptacle in which a magnetic bearing which is configured for rotatably mounting a rotor of the electric machine can be accommodated; and a radially outwardly pointing circumferential contour on which a number of at least three supporting elements are provided, which supporting elements each protrude radially beyond the circumferential contour by a determined protruding amount, with the result that the supporting elements define a discontinuous external circumferential contour of the end plate. The respective protruding amounts of the support elements are dimensioned such that the end plate can be fitted in by making a center of the magnetic bearing correspond to at least one of a geometric longitudinal axis of the electric machine and a magnetic longitudinal axis of the electric machine.

A method for forming a concentric winding coil in which a coil end portion protruding from an axial end face of a stator core has a plurality of different nonlinear shapes, from a rectangular conductor wound in a predetermined number of turns, the method including forming the coil end portion into the plurality of different nonlinear shapes in one step by causing a die to make a stroke movement in a predetermined direction with respect to the rectangular conductor being set.
