  • Patent number: 11901783
    Abstract: In a method for producing a winding overhang assembly for an electrical rotating machine, an insulating main body is produced at least partly from a dielectric material. Each of a plurality of conductors of a metal material is connected to the insulating main body via an intermediate layer, which is produced from a material which is different from the dielectric material of the insulating main body and from the metal material of the conductors and which is produced from silver, aluminum, antimony, magnesium, tin, zinc, lead, tantalum or from a mixture and/or from at least one alloy thereof. The conductors are hereby sprayed onto the intermediate layer by a thermal spraying method.

  • Publication number: 20180102697
    Abstract: In a method for producing a rotor for a synchronous machine suitable for a rotational speed of more than 1000 r.p.m, a plurality of electrically conductive rectangular sub-conductors are loosely joined in parallel to one another lengthwise to form a conductor. The conductor is wound so as to form a winding and thereby form an exciter coil. Directly after winding, the sub-conductors of the conductor are continuously soldered together while the sub-conductors are positioned and/or held together by a forming facility, so that the exciter coil is solid and the conductor rigid.

  • Patent number: 9935511
    Abstract: A component designed to form a rotor for an electric machine includes a shaft, and an active part which is disposed in concentric circumferentially surrounding relation to the shaft. The active part has a radially inwardly open slot. A leg is connected to the shaft and has a tip which points radially outward from the shaft and is received in the slot of the active part. Further received in the slot of the active part is a first end of a connecting element. A fastening element secures the connecting element in a region of a second end to the leg to thereby establish a form-fit connection of the leg and the connecting element to the active part.
