Abstract: An inter-phase insulating paper is inserted, using a guide jig, into slots formed in the inner circumferential surface of a stator core. The guide jig is disposed at a predetermined position on one end surface side of the stator core. The inter-phase insulating paper is inserted into the guide jig along the stator core central axis line. The guide jig deforms the inter-phase insulating paper to a predetermined shape when the inter-phase insulating paper passes through the inside of the guide jig. The guide jig inserts both side portions of the inter-phase insulating paper simultaneously into different two slots of the stator core along the stator core central axis line.

Abstract: A one-piece field-pole magnet is manufactured by filling a gap formed between magnetic pieces placed on a plane with an adhesive or resin. During the process, a pushing member applies a pushing force onto each of the magnet pieces in a thickness direction thereof. The pushing member comprises pushing parts each of which pushes each of the magnet pieces, thereby equalizing the pushing forces applied to the respective magnet pieces.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a magnet segment of a field pole magnet body includes cleaving a magnet material at a plurality of cleavage target regions arranged with an interval in a longitudinal direction of the magnet material. The cleavage process includes cleaving the magnet material sequentially from the cleavage target region closer to one side edge of the longitudinal direction of the magnet material, wherein a notch is formed in each of the plurality of cleavage target regions of the magnet material such that a depth of the notch closer to the one side edge becomes deeper.

Abstract: A stator is provided with a tooth, an insulator attached to the tooth, and a coil wound around the insulator. The insulator is provided with a winding barrel around which the coil is wound in a plurality of layers, a flange projecting in a radial direction from one end of the winding barrel, and a notch formed in the flange and through which the line material of the coil is inserted. Projecting lengths of the flange from the winding barrel on the both sides of the notch are set different from each other. When the line material of the coil is guided from the outside of the flange to the winding barrel through the notch for winding the coil on the winding barrel, by supporting and bending the line material at a portion having a longer projecting length of the flange, the line material passes the notch easily.
