A method for the making of a stator for electric motors, comprising providing two jigs, each having a circular opening inside the jig and a series of teeth inside the circular opening extending towards a central axis, the teeth defining a series of slots; arranging the two jigs coaxially spaced along a central axis; winding, between the teeth, a plurality of wires to form a plurality of windings, so the wires of each winding occupy a plurality of the slots of both jigs; the windings including linear wire portions extending between the two jigs; inserting, from the inside, a plurality of first stator portions between the linear wire portions; and inserting, from the outside, a plurality of second stator portions complementary to the first stator portions between the linear wire portions, to form a stator body.

An armature assembly comprising an armature body and a number of armature ring segments mounted on the armature body, wherein the armature assembly comprises a number of insertion interface elements and a number of complementary receiving interface elements for mounting an armature ring segment onto the armature body; whereby an insertion interface element is realized to engage with a complementary receiving interface element in a direction essentially parallel to a rotation axis of the armature; and wherein an insertion interface element is formed as an integral part of the armature body or as an integral part of an armature ring segment. A method of assembling an armature is also described, and a wind turbine comprising such an armature assembly is provided.

A stator includes a hollow cylindrical stator core having stator teeth and slots. The stator teeth each extend radially inward and are circumferentially spaced from one another. Each of the slots is formed between one circumferentially-facing pair of the stator teeth and opens at the radially inner periphery of the stator core. Each of the stator teeth has a distal end portion that includes a slit, a base part and an oblique part. The slit is formed in a distal end surface of the stator tooth and extends axially. The base part and the oblique part are formed respectively on opposite circumferential sides of the slit. The base part extends radially inward to have a distal end surface that makes up an inner-diameter surface of the stator core. The oblique part is bent toward an adjacent slot so as to extend obliquely with respect to the base part.

A liner for use for a resilient stator of an electric machine for positioning between teeth formed in the stator. The stator is conformable from a first generally extending shape with opposed spaced apart ends and to a second generally hollow circular shape. The liner includes a central portion for positioning in a cavity between the adjacent teeth, a first end portion for limiting motion of the liner extending from the central portion and adapted to cooperate with a first end face of the stator, and a second end portion extending from the central portion and cooperating with a second end face of the stator, opposed to the first end face. The first end portion limits motion of the liner. The liner is positioned between adjacent teeth when the stator is in the first shape and remains in the cavity when the stator is in the second shape.

A stator for a rotary electric machine has: a toothed ring with teeth defining notches therebetween, the notches being open radially toward the outside, windings, which are arranged in a distributed manner in the notches, electrical conductors being arranged in an aligned manner in the notches, and a yoke mounted onto the toothed ring.

A method for securing a stator, including aligning a pin with an opening in a lamination stack, holding the pin with a support, the support having a surface thereof that is located at a distance from the lamination stack of at least 40 percent of a length of the pin that is exposed outside the lamination stack, and press fitting the pin into the opening. An electric machine, including a stator including a lamination stack having a first end and a second end and an ear depending from the stack, the ear including an opening, and a pin disposed, in press fit relationship, with the stator, the pin extending beyond the first and the second ends of the stator.

There is provided a motor armature structure including an armature that includes: a winding body; an armature core having a plurality of winding cores; and a structure framework, at least a part of the structure framework includes an insulating member, and the armature core includes a molded magnetic material admixture.

A laminated core manufacturing method for performing rotational lamination by conveying a band-shaped material to be stamped 10 to a die apparatus to successively perform presswork, stamping out and dropping manufactured core pieces 20 into a blanking die 21 and rotating the blanking die 21 by a predetermined angle, in which a positioning mechanism for the blanking die 21, which has rotational lamination guide pins and rotational lamination guide holes 23-30, is disposed inward from both ends in a width direction of the band-shaped material to be stamped 10 and temporary holes 13-16 for the rotational lamination guide pins to be inserted are provided in the band-shaped material to be stamped 10. The structure allows downsizing of the die apparatus.

A stator for an electric motor includes a stator core defining slots within which electrical conductors are disposed. Coolant passages are defined within the slots by means of spacers that support the conductors, in such a manner that liquid coolant flowing in the coolant passages directly contacts the conductors. The spacers can define turbulence generators for causing the coolant to have turbulent flow to increase cooling effectiveness.

A crimping device for a motor core is configured to crimp dowels of adjacent ones of iron core pieces by applying a load to a laminate in a thickness direction. The crimping device for the motor core includes a fixed die configured to come into contact with a first end face of the laminate and a movable die that is movable toward and away from the fixed die. The movable die is configured to apply a load to the laminate by coming into contact with a second end face of the laminate. Protrusions are provided on a surface of the movable die facing the second end face in the thickness direction. The protrusions respectively protrude toward crimp portions of the laminate.
