Abstract: In a method for producing a three-phase alternating current winding for a linear motor, which has a rotor part (7) and an elongated stator (4), which consists of an inductor provided with grooves (5) and three phase windings (1), which lie in the grooves (5), which are provided with recesses for closure devices, and in which the phase windings (1) consist of electric cables that can be connected with one another to form a cohesive winding, each of the three phase windings (1) is first shaped as a meander, the meander windings are fixed in place by at least one band-shaped element (2, 3), and the phase windings (1) are pressed into the grooves (5) of the stator (4) either individually in succession or together.
