Abstract: For fixing the winding ends (1, 2, 3, 4) of a stator winding in a dynamoelectrical machine, in which the winding ends have inner (2, 3) and outer layers (1, 4), which are mechanically and electrically connected to each other at the axially outer end, the winding ends are clamped between an outer ring (14) and an inner ring (15). The bracing of the two rings (14, 15) and of said winding ends is performed by filling pieces (16) being inserted between two neighboring winding ends (1, 2) in the circumferential direction of the winding overhang, of which filling pieces at least some are wedged in the radial direction with the two rings (14, 15) by means of retightenable wedges (17, 18).This clamping produces a rigid winding overhang, the wedging can be retightened if required and also disassembled without any great effort.

Abstract: A laminated pole for an electrical machine with salient poles is disclosed. The laminated pole includes a pole body having a plurality of pole sheets, and a pole end plate having a plurality of individual sheets. The pole sheets are layered and pressed one against another. The individual sheets are welded one to another, and may also be welded to a connecting pin. The connecting pin protrudes from the pole end plate in an axial direction and is used as a bearing or support member for a pole coil of the electrical machine. The individual sheets and the pole sheets are made from the same sheet material, have the same outside contour, and are punched with the same punching tool. Laminated pole end plates according to the present invention are cheaper to manufacture and suffer less pulsation losses and eddy current losses than solid pole end plates.
