The invention relates to an electrotechnical coil, to a method for producing same, and to an electromagnet or an electric machine comprising at least one such coil. The aim of the invention is to produce and use an electrotechnical coil for achieving an increased slot fill factor reliably and easily in a reproducible and economical manner. This is achieved in that the method according to the invention has the steps: step A: casting an electrotechnical coil with at least one winding which runs about a coil axis; and step B: shaping the coil, thereby changing the cross-section Q, Q′ of the at least one winding, such that the centroid FS, FS′ of the cross-section Q, Q′ of the at least one winding is displaced at least partly in the radial direction R relative to the coil axis A.

In one aspect a support member is provided. The support member is for forming an inductor coil of an aerosol provision device, and defines an axis about which a multistrand wire of the inductor coil is windable. An outer surface of the support member comprises a channel to receive the wire. In another aspect there is provided a method of forming an inductor coil for an aerosol provision device. The method comprises providing a multi-strand wire comprising a plurality of wire strands, wherein at least one of the plurality of wire strands comprises a bondable coating; winding the multi-strand wire around a support member defining an axis; activating the bondable coating such that the multi-strand wire substantially retains a shape determined by the support member; reducing a cross-sectional width of the support member in a direction perpendicular to the axis; and removing the multistrand wire from the support member.

The invention provides a method and a device for producing a winding element from a supplied wire, in particular from a round copper wire, said method and device allowing the economical and flexible production of a winding element which, when subsequently used in the field of electrical engineering as a coil or inductor fitted in a stator, ensures the highest possible groove filling factor. For this purpose, the wire is wound to a three-dimensional shape and the cross section of the wire is changed simultaneously, as a result of which separate method steps and therefore tool arrangements for three-dimensional winding of the wire as well as the change of the cross-section of the wire can advantageously be dispensed with.

The invention relates to a roller casting method for producing a spiral structure, in particular a spiral structure for use in electric machines. Molten metal is supplied between a first roller and a second roller miming opposite thereto, wherein the first roller has first teeth, and the second roller has second teeth, said first and/or second teeth having tooth flanks with cavities for receiving the supplied molten metal. The teeth are designed and aligned such that the cavity of at least one tooth is at least temporarily delimited by the surface of a tooth of the other roller when the rollers are rotating such that the supplied molten metal is molded between the teeth while cooling and is molded into a section of the spiral structure.

The invention relates to a method for producing a coil (6), in which, by means of casting, a semi-finished product (5) in the form of an elongate conductor is formed in a cavity (2) of a casting tool and the coil (6) is formed following a demolding of the semi-finished product (5) by shaping this semi-finished product (5), wherein the form of the semi-finished product (5) may be derived from a shape of the finished coil (6) by stretching along a longitudinal axis of the coil (6) and/or by bending this longitudinal axis, and wherein the semi-finished product (5), during the shaping, is bent and compressed so that windings of the coil (5) already present in the semi-finished product (5) are brought closer to one another at least in some regions during the shaping and are brought into an arrangement along the longitudinal axis of the finished coil (6), wherein the conductor, whilst being shaped, is twisted or bent by no more than a right angle over the course of each individual turn. The invention also relates to a coil (6) produced in this way and to a casting tool which may be used to carry out the described method.

The present application creates a roller molding method for producing a spiral structure or a coil, in particular a spiral structure for use in electric machines, wherein material is supplied between a first roller and a second roller running opposite thereto, wherein the first roller has first teeth, and the second roller has second teeth, said first and/or second teeth having tooth flanks with cavities for receiving the supplied material, wherein the teeth are designed and aligned such that the cavity of at least one tooth is at least temporarily delimited by the surface of a tooth of the other roller when the rollers are rotating such that the supplied material is molded between the teeth into a portion of the spiral structure or the coil.
