  • Publication number: 20230361660
    Abstract: A method for producing a skewed stator having a stator winding composed of shaped conductors includes providing a stator core including a plurality of slots extending from a first end-face to an opposing second end-face and have a skew in the circumferential direction. An arrangement is provided having at least one shaped conductor having two straight leg portions oriented parallel to one another and connected by a connecting portion. Also included is inserting the arrangement into the stator core with the skewed slots at the first end-face by relative movement in the axial direction between the stator core and the arrangement, so that the leg portions of the at least one shaped conductor are bent as a result of the relative movement in such a way that the shape of the leg portions inserted into the stator core acquires a skew which corresponds to the skew of the slots.

  • Publication number: 20230246528
    Abstract: A method for producing a skewed stator having a stator winding made from segmented conductors includes providing a stator core having a large number of axially layered stator core elements which form a plurality of slots extending from one end-face of the stator core to an opposite end-face, and which extend parallel in an axial direction. A large number of segmented conductors are provided which each have two leg portions extending parallel to each other and a connection portion electrically connecting the leg portions. The leg portions are introduced into the slots, and the stator core elements are rotated in a circumferential direction so they are displaced relative to each other in a circumferential direction and the slots form an inclination in a circumferential direction. The leg portions are bent by the rotation have an inclination corresponding to the slots. The stator core elements are fixed relative to each other.

  • Publication number: 20220085672
    Abstract: A rotor (3a . . . 3c) for an electrical machine (1) is described which comprises several rotor segments (10a . . . 10c, 10a?, 10a?, 10 . . . 10??) which are arranged successively along the rotational axis (x) of the rotor (3a . . . 3c) and each comprise a rotor plate (11) or several rotor plates (11). Magnetic poles (A . . . D) of two adjacent rotor segments (10a . . . 10c, 10a?, 10a?, 10 . . . 10??) are twisted relative to one another around the rotational axis (x) of the rotor (3a . . . 3c) by a staggering angle (?), wherein the staggering angle (?) is smaller than a polar angle (?) lying between two magnetic poles (A . . . D) of a rotor segment (10a . . . 10c, 10a?, 10a?, 10 . . . 10??). The rotor (3a . . . 3c) comprises at least two first cutouts (12) which are arranged on a first hole circle (L1) around the rotational axis (x) of the rotor (3a . . . 3c) and are each twisted relative to one another by an angle (?) which corresponds to the polar angle (?) minus or plus the staggering angle (?).
