Abstract: A device for collecting the liquid cooling medium of an electric machine rotor winding which comprises an external cylindrical member having an annular recess on its internal surface fastened to the rotor in communication with the cooling medium discharge from the rotor winding, and a stationary internal cylindrical member having an external surface provided with an annular projection, extending into the annular recess of the external cylindrical member, both members being arranged concentrically with a rotor shaft. The annular projection is provided with at least one internal annular cavity open on the circumference of the projection and communicating with the liquid collecting chamber.

Abstract: A stator of an electric machine comprises a frame mounted on a base by means of supporting feet. A laminated core is supported in the frame with its laminations clamped together in the axial direction by support ribs located in slots in the frame. The support ribs are equally spaced around the periphery of the core said only the support ribs adjacent the maximum rigidity portions of the frame are attached thereto and made resilient. Such an arrangement of resilient links between the core and the frame tends to minimize the stator vibrations transmitted to the frame and the base. The support ribs not attached to the frame are provided for uniform compression of the core and may be rigidly secured to the surface thereof.
