Abstract: A wire winding device which uses a large-sized supply bobbin, which has a large capacity and a large diameter, to highly precisely suppress a variation in tension which variation occurs when a coil is formed by winding a wire material at high speed with the wire material aligned with a winding frame. Rotation (the number of rotation, and timing) of the supply bobbin relative to rotation of the coil is controlled based on the difference between the amount of take-up of the wire material taken up on the winding frame side and the amount of pay-out of the wire material paid out from the supply bobbin, and the control is performed such that the amount of the take-up and the amount of the pay-out agree with each other every moment. This can highly precisely suppress a variation in tension even if there are large differences between inertia of and the diameters of the coil and the supply bobbin.

Abstract: A motor stator (10) is provided with a stator core (11) having a plurality of slots (16), insulation members (12) which are disposed in the plurality of slots, and coils of a plurality of phases (13) which are respectively formed by distributed-winding wires (20) in prescribed slots of the plurality of slots disposed spaced apart at intervals of a predetermined number of slots via the insulation members. The wires are disposed within the insulation members in a condition that tensions are applied to the wires. The stator core, the insulation members and the coils are physically fixed together by the tensions of the wires.
