  • Publication number: 20240146134
    Abstract: A stator of an electric axial flux machine as well as to an electric axial flux machine are provided. The stator of the axial flux machine includes multiple axially protruding stator teeth, a first winding being wound about at least one stator tooth, the first winding being spaced from the stator tooth by at least one radial spacing element such that a gap is formed between a radially inner face of the first winding and the stator tooth in order for a cooling fluid to be able to flow therethrough. The stator of an axial flux machine and the axial flux machine equipped with this stator afford durable units which ensure efficient cooling and thus high performance.

  • Publication number: 20230369925
    Abstract: A stator for an axial flux motor having a laminated stator core which is fastened to a flange, wherein the laminated stator core has a rear side which is interlockingly and frictionally fastened to a front side of the flange, and/or a cooling channel between the laminated stator core and the flange is formed in the region of the fastening. An axial flux motor is also provided having a rotor which is arranged between two stators, of which one or both are as described above.

  • Patent number: 11638949
    Abstract: In a method for producing a multilayered heat shield, which has a first metal layer and a second metal layer that has an insulating layer arranged between the metal layers, the metal layers are connected at the edge by a flanging. To produce the heat shield, the first metal layer, the insulating layer and the second metal layer are placed into a first pressing tool. This is effected in such a way that an edge portion of the first metal layer protrudes beyond an edge portion of the second metal layer. The insulating layer is set back from the edge portions of the first metal layer and of the second metal layer.
