Abstract: Apparatus for soldering the winding to the commutator of a rotor of great weight of an electric machine. The apparatus has a vessel containing a bath of molten solder and electric resistance heaters, a single-phase magneto-hydrodynamic pump consisting of a first magnetic core disposed beneath the vessel, the first magnetic core being supported from below and surrounded by a winding and solder stream-formation unit made of ferro magnetic material which is concentric with the first magnetic core. The bottom wall of the vessel is disposed on the first magnetic core, and within the vessel and on the bottom thereof there is fastened rigidly an additional, second hollow magnetic core, which is a continuation of the first magnetic core, while a tubular casing which is concentric with the second magnetic core, and which is of stepped shape, seats with its external step on the additional, second hollow magnetic core.

Abstract: An apparatus for soldering the wires of the rotor winding of an electric machine to its commutator. The apparatus comprises a tank with molten solder and heaters, a magneto-hydrodynamic pump for the solder, a device for holding the rotor, and a device for the protection of the molten solder from oxidation. The device for holding the rotor comprises a base in the shape of a hollow cylinder with holes and having a chamfered bottom part of the internal surface thereof in which there is movable disposed a replacement nozzle, which is made up of a sleeve and a rotor holding case rigidly connecting together. The nozzle reciprocates in the base. The commutator of the rotor to be solder is inserted into the case. Between the sleeve and the case there is formed a ring-shaped duct, connected with a booster zone which directs the molten solder toward the commutator.
