  • Patent number: 5474799
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for coating an electromagnetic coil, particularly stator coils for an electric motor, with an insulating catalyzed resin material. The catalyzed resin material is a two component material comprising an epoxy resin and a catalyst. The catalyzed resin material is a free flowing liquid at a first temperature and begins to cure rapidly at a second elevated temperature. The stator coils are first heated by supplying current to the stator coils to raise the temperature of the stator coils to the first temperature. The free flowing liquid catalyzed resin material is dispensed through nozzles onto the stator coils as the stator coils and the nozzles move relative to each other. After the liquid catalyzed resin material has been dispensed in a predetermined amount, at predetermined locations, for predetermined times, the catalyzed resin material is allowed to penetrate the stator coils.

A laser light beam (24,26), having a cross section in the form of a short line, is focused upon the resist and moved linearly along the axis of the mandrel while the mandrel is rotated. The resulting helical exposure pattern on the photo resist is developed and the remainder of the undeveloped resist is then removed to expose a helical pattern (50,52) of deposited helix metal (44). The latter is subjected to etching processes so as to remove the deposited metal between the turns of the helical resist pattern (54,56), leaving a helix (44) of deposited metal on the mandrel underneath the resist.

  • Patent number: 4684438
    Abstract: A process for producing a coil for a magnetic recording head and the coil obtained by this process. An insulating film which covers a support is etched in order to give it the shape of a first spiral. The support is then etched by using the insulating film as a mask, forming a groove in the form of a second spiral, which is complementary to the first spiral. A thin metal layer is then deposited on the insulating film used as the mask and simultaneously on the bottom of the etched groove, producing two conductors in the form of complementary spirals which are located in two different planes.

  • Patent number: 4670342
    Abstract: A method for making an electrical inductive device for use in hermetic atmospheres which incorporate refrigerants such as halogenated methane compositions, for example refrigerant R-22, monochlorodifluoromethane. The device may be a wound coil device formed of magnet wire, the enamel coating of which has resistance to blistering when exposed to refrigerants under saturated conditions at temperatures up to about 200.degree. or 210.degree. C. and above. The enamel coating composition or wire enamel is formed as the reaction product of 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, optionally with an aromatic dianhydride, and a diamine such as p,p'-methylenedianiline or p,p'-oxydianiline, in an organic solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.

  • Patent number: 4649640
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a molded transformer comprises the steps of forming a coil by winding concentric layers of a conductor with insulating layers interposed between the adjacent layers of the conductor and provided with insulating end members at both ends of the respective layers of the conductor, providing insulating layers on the inner and outer surfaces of a resultant structure, applying a curing accelerator to the insulating layers on the inner and outer peripheral surfaces and the insulating end members at one end of the coil, assembling a wound core in the coil to form a core-coil assembly, immersing the assembly in resin with said one end of the coil directed downward, taking out the assembly when the resin starts to gel due to the action of the curing accelerator, and then setting the resin in the coil and on the wound core.

  • Patent number: 4624884
    Abstract: A thermosetting synthetic resin composition consisting mainly of, for example, an epoxy resin is melted at a temperature of 70.degree. to 130.degree. C. After adding a filler to the resin composition, the resultant mixture is kneaded and rapidly cooled. The composition consists of a thixotropy agent, a leveling agent, etc., in addition to the epoxy resin and a curing agent for the epoxy resin. Aluminum as the filler is added in the amount of 30 wt % to 100 wt % of the mixture. The mixture of the composition with the filler is kneaded and rapidly cooled and is then pulverized to prepare a powder. The powder coating thus obtained is coated on a coil and is cured to provide a heat radiating insulator.

  • Patent number: 4616407
    Abstract: A method for insulating a coil of a rotary electric machine resulting in improved insulating properties at critical coil ends. A mica sheet or mica tape is wound around a part of each coil to be inserted into a slot cut in an iron core of the rotary electric machine to thus form a first insulating layer. The coils thus treated are inserted into respective slots and are connected together and to external terminals as required. Each coil end is then covered in its entirety with a thermosetting resin. The thermosetting resin is hardened by heating to form a second insulating layer.

  • Patent number: 4554730
    Abstract: Methods of constructing a void-free, cellulose-free electrical winding insulated with a solid resinous insulation. The method includes forming a plurality of conductor turns on a substrate, with each conductor turn being immersed in liquid resinous insulation as it is formed, to provide a void-free intermediate structure.
