Abstract: An apparatus is provided for winding a laminated core with a magnet coil for an electric motor in which a conductive, insulated coil wire is wound into one or multiple pole tip grooves of a winding surface of the laminated core. The apparatus comprises a holding device, a counter holding device, and one or multiple clamping elements. The holding device is configured to fix the laminated core to be wound during a winding process. The one or multiple clamping elements are configured to fix an insulating paper to one of the one or multiple pole tip grooves.
