  • Publication number: 20230021090
    Abstract: A component, in particular a stator or a rotor, of an electric motor, in which a layer structure is generated is produced using additive manufacturing, by: forming, via alternate additive production, a layer assembly having first layers and second layers each first layer including a filament containing plastic and metal, and each second layer including a filament containing plastic and ceramic; heating the layer assembly a first temperature, at which the plastic is removed from the layers; further heating the layer assembly (2) to a second temperature, whereby the metal of the layer is sintered and an electrically insulating ceramic layer is obtained from the layer.

  • Patent number: 11529688
    Abstract: A hydraulic-expansion chuck for clamping a workpiece includes an annular body, an inner circumferential surface, an outer circumferential surface, and an axis of rotation. The chuck also includes a channel integrated into the annular body for receiving a pressurized hydraulic fluid to clamp the workpiece. The channel has an annular peripheral channel section formed radially between the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface. The chuck also includes a holding contour with a plurality of expansion lugs disposed on the inner circumferential surface and a plurality of further channel sections branching off from the channel. At least one of the plurality of further channel sections extends into a respective lug of the plurality of expansion lugs, and the hydraulic-expansion chuck is manufactured by an additive manufacturing process.
