  • Publication number: 20260342162
    Abstract: In a method for producing a stator of a dynamoelectric machine, a laminated core which has at least one stator bore, axially running slots and slot openings directed toward the stator bore is stacked. When viewed in a circumferential direction, a slot is formed by two directly adjacent tooth shafts, sections of corresponding tooth heads, the slot opening and a slot base. The slot opening is formed by two opposing end sections of adjacent ones of the tooth heads when viewed in the circumferential direction. The end sections of the tooth heads are coated with an anti-friction coating by a spinning operation or a nozzle. A spinning or spraying device is moved axially within the stator bore during application and thereby provides one slot opening or simultaneously more than one of the slot openings with the anti-friction layer. A winding is drawn into the slots via the slot openings.
