Abstract: A method used for producing rotors and stators of electric motors, including the production of connection wires, and comprises the following steps: Winding the coil windings (12), which comprise a plurality of individual wires (14), on a wire winder (28) to which the individual wires (14) are fed from a wire supply unit (16) via a wire guide 18, 20, 22), Depositing the coil windings (12) in a draw-in tool (36), Drawing the coil windings (12) into grooves of a stator (84) or rotor body, Combining the individual wires (14) in phases by means of slide-on tubes (52) to produce the connection wires of the stator or rotor in question.

Abstract: The disclosed stator or rotor has a distributed wave winding, in which the wires are associated in pairs lying with straight segments in the same slots. Head portions of two successive straight segments of each wire of a pair protrude from opposite ends of slots. For forming two wire groups, a plurality of coil windings are simultaneously created by winding up n parallel wires with intermediate spacing onto a striplike former that is rotatable about its longitudinal axis. From each of the parallel wires one straight segment and one end turn are doubled by being bent over with the wire length of a head portion, and then head portions are formed and the wires interlaced. Finally, the two wire groups are wound onto one another and thereby intertwined with one another, and then introduced as an entire intertwined wave winding strand into the stator or rotor slots.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coil former (1) for winding conductor wire (100) into coil windings (101), in particular for subsequent insertion in a stator carrier, said coil former having a coil former front (2) and a coil former rear (3), wherein the coil former front (2) and the coil former rear (3) span, by means of a peripheral surface (4), a spiral winding path (P) around a spiral axis (W) for the conductor wire (100), and wherein support elements (10, 11) are arranged along the winding path (P) and protrude beyond the peripheral surface (4) and laterally delimit the spiral winding path (P). The invention also relates to a winding device (50) having a coil former (1) of this kind and to a method for operating the winding device (50).

Abstract: The invention relates to a coil winding (2) for insertion into radially open slots (16) of stators (10) or rotors of electric machines. The coil winding (20) consists of a number of wires (22) braided with one another and bent multiple times in opposite directions such that mutually parallel legs (28, 30) of the wires (22) which are intended to fill the slots (16) are connected by winding overhangs (32, 34) which project from the end face of the stators (10) or rotors. The winding overhangs (32, 34) each have two oblique winding overhang sections (36, 38, 40, 42) having a winding overhang tip (44, 46) in between. The wires (22) are arranged one behind the other in a longitudinal direction (L) of the coil winding (20).
