Patent number: 10700582Abstract: A squirrel-cage rotor of an asynchronous machine has a rotor bar (4) in a rotor stack (1), wherein the bar (4) can be tipped at a tipping point (11, 12, 13) when the bar (4) has not yet been cast. The rotor bar (4) can in this case have a contour on a radial outer face, wherein the bar (4) can also have a channel (27), the opening (29) in said channel being wider than the shoulders (32, 33) of the limbs (30, 31) which form the channel (27).Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2011Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Klaus Büttner, Michael Müller, Norbert Wöhner

Patent number: 10320261Abstract: For reducing vibrations and noise in electrical machines a rotor is mounted in a magnetic alignment device while a bearing shield is loosely held relative to a stator. The rotor is driven by the stator and vibrations of the rotor are detected. A magnetic alignment device is controlled so as to reduce the vibrations. Finally the bearing shield is fixed to the stator in a position determined by the controlling of the magnetic alignment device. Thus electromagnetic forces are taken into consideration during vibration and noise reduction.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Klaus Büttner, Klaus Kirchner, Matthias Warmuth, Norbert Wöhner

Patent number: 7780108Abstract: In a method for winding an electrical machine, a winding auxiliary body is placed on at least one of the end faces of a base body such as to cover at least one of the slot end openings within a circumferential bridging area. Electrical conductors of a winding system are inserted in at least one of the slots whose slot end opening is on one side of the bridging area and passed through an uncovered slot end opening. Subsequently, the electrical conductors are deflected by the winding auxiliary body and guided to a further uncovered one of the slot end openings on another side of the bridging area. After placement of an end plate having an axially projecting separating element and plugging an axial attachment cutout of the winding auxiliary body onto the separating element, the winding auxiliary body is removed, thereby producing a winding element of the winding system.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2006Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Eduard Lyschick, Fridolin Mahlmeister, Michael Menz, Norbert Wöhner
