  • Patent number: 11984776
    Abstract: A rotor (1) comprising a rotor shaft (13), a rotor core (14) having a core length, windings (12), and two impregnation rings (11), the windings (12) forming protruding windings ends (121), each one of the two impregnation rings (11) comprising an annular portion (111) and a deflector portion (112), the annular portion (111) comprising radial openings (113); and a method for impregnating the rotor (1) comprising starting a rotation of the rotor shaft (13) and impregnating the windings (12) with an impregnating agent through two nozzles respectively located upward each one of the two impregnation rings (11) and oriented towards the radial openings (113), the impregnation agent being guided by the deflector portion (112) towards the protruding windings ends (121) on both sides of the rotor (1) at a same time, in order to impregnate the windings (12) through the core length.

  • Publication number: 20230208220
    Abstract: An electromagnetic pole (17) for a rotary electric machine is disclosed. The pole has a tooth (18) comprising a tooth body (19), the tooth (18) being radially oriented and the tooth (18) comprising a recess (21), a coil (16) comprising a plurality of wire turns (20) wound around the tooth (18) between a first radial end (28) and a second radial end (29), the wire turns (20) which are the most distant from the tooth body (19) between the first radial end (28) and the second radial end (29), forming an outer wire layer (22), the coil (16) comprising a bracing wire (14), the bracing wire (14) being wound on the outer wire layer (22) from the first radial end (28) to the second radial end (29) in less than one turn around the tooth (18) so as to hold in position the outer wire layer (22).

  • Publication number: 20230208226
    Abstract: A rotor for a rotary electric machine includes a rotor shaft configured to rotate around an axis of rotation, a rotor body formed of a stack of laminations having a plurality of teeth projecting radially and being configured to be mounted coaxially on the rotor shaft. A field coil is wound around each tooth of the plurality of teeth. At least one tooth of the plurality of teeth includes at least one weld seam on a lateral face of the corresponding tooth, the lateral face extending radially and axially along the axis of rotation.
