In at least one of the unit winding subparts, a part of an incline segment is made by a part of each of the curved corner segments.

In this method for manufacturing an armature winding for an electric machine, a rectangular conductor wire is wound helically by bending and shaping linking portions between rectilinear portions and coil ends to set angles while feeding the rectangular conductor wire, by repeating steps in which the rectangular conductor wire is fed by a set amount of feeding, the rectangular conductor wire is gripped and fixed by first through fourth chucks, the rectangular conductor wire is bent by pressing a first former near a root of the rectangular conductor wire, and gripping and fixing of the rectangular conductor wire by the first through fourth chucks is released.

Using a single bobbin, this invention makes the respective turn counts of windings in an axial-air-gap rotating electric machine the same and minimizes the lengths of connecting wires between continuous windings regardless of the continuous turn count, the direction in which each winding is wound, and whether the number of stages is odd or even. The aforementioned bobbin, which has a tubular shape that substantially matches the exterior shape of a core, is provided with flanges that extend outwards from near the respective openings in the bobbin. One of said flanges has two first notches, and the other flange has at least one second notch. The axial positions of the starting ends and finishing ends of coils on adjacent stator cores are the same, and the flanges containing the notches through which the ends of said coils are run are on the same side with respect to the abovementioned openings.

A winding wire (14) includes a first coil (15) formed by being wound N/2+ times between two predetermined slots (13) present in positions which are point-symmetrical with respect to a rotating shaft, and a second coil (16) formed by being wound N/2 times between the two predetermined slots (13) which are the same as those between which the first coil (15) is formed, when a predetermined number of turns of the winding wire (14) between the predetermined slots is N.

A stator with a multi-phase stator winding including phase windings each made of several winding segments, the segments including intermediate conductor portions arranged away from each other in a circumferential direction and link portions located at first and second radial end sides and connect the paired intermediate conductor portions into an annular shape. The winding segments are adjacent each other in a circumferential direction partially overlapping in the circumferential direction and include first and second winding segments overlapping each other in the circumferential direction. The link portions of the first winding segments are bent radially inward at at least one of axially opposed ends of the stator winding. The link portions of the second winding segments are bent radially outward at the at least one of the axially opposed ends of the stator winding. These link portions are arranged not overlapping in an axial direction of the stator.

Disclosed is a stator for a rotating electrical machine, which includes a stator core having a plurality of slots, and a plurality of coils. Each of the coils has a first inserting section and a second inserting section, which are inserted into two slots which form a pair, a first coil end, and a second coil end. The first and/or the second coil end has a twisted portion and a bent portion. The twisted portion is formed by twisting the coil end at a part close to the first inserting section. The bent portion is formed by bending, at a part close to the second inserting section, the coil end such that the coil end is laid flat.

There are provided a coil unit, a stator member, a motor, and methods of manufacturing these, configured to achieve downsizing and simplified manufacturing steps. The coil unit includes a coil, and a bus bar including a connection end portion to which the coil is connected. One end of the coil and the connection end portion are welded by cold pressure welding with end faces of them being butted in a welded portion.

A method for producing a spiral-shaped body, in particular an electric coil, made of an electrically conductive material. First, the material is wound about a mandrel in a casting mold in order to form a coil with a plurality of windings, and pressure is then exerted onto the coil in the axial direction of the coil. The pressure leads to a deformation and compression of the cross-section of the individual windings in the axial direction of the coil. By compressing the coil, an optimal use of space is achieved with an electric coil, for example for an electric machine.
