  • Patent number: 4807354
    Abstract: A method of rearranging components of a dynamoelectric machine. In this method, a pair of opposite end supports which support a rotatable assembly of the dynamoelectric machine are released from securement to a frame thereof, and the rotatable assembly is then disassociated from the frame and reoriented in end-to-end relation with respect to the frame. In its reoriented position, the rotatable assembly is reassociated with the frame, and the end supports are again releasably secured to the frame in supporting relation with the rotatable assembly wherein the rotatable assembly is reoriented with respect to at least another component of the dynamoelectric machine secured to a side panel of the frame exteriorly thereof.

  • Patent number: 4661734
    Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine with an axially symmetric rotor and shaft allows the rotor to be reoriented end-for-end within the machine. The machine includes an etched foil heating assembly, an indexable power conduit assembly, and a compartmentalized accessories conduit assembly selectively connected to the frame in a pre-determined manner. Bearing support assemblies for the rotor shaft incorporate adjustment blocks to permit ready alignment of mechanical and magnetic centers.
