  • 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.
