  • Banded electromagnetic stator core
    Patent number: 5525852
    Abstract: A stator core for an electromagnetic pump includes a plurality of circumferentially adjoining groups of flat laminations disposed about a common centerline axis and collectively defining a central bore and a discontinuous outer perimeter, with adjacent groups diverging radially outwardly to form V-shaped gaps. An annular band surrounds the groups and is predeterminedly tensioned to clamp together the laminations, and has a predetermined flexibility in a radial direction to form substantially straight bridge sections between the adjacent groups.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 25, 1994
    Date of Patent: June 11, 1996
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Alan W. Fanning, Aaron A. Gonzales, Mahadeo R. Patel, Eugene E. Olich
