  • Patent number: 8981614
    Abstract: Included are a pair of insulators arranged on axial end surfaces of a split core, and an insulating film attached to lateral side surfaces of the tooth part, for insulating the split core from a coil wound around the tooth part. Each insulator includes projections projecting further than a tooth front end part in the circumferential direction, slits which are formed in the respective projections to a corresponding axial end surface side of the tooth front end part and into which the insulating film is inserted, and ribs formed, on an end surface side in the circumferential direction, in the respective projections. The insulating film inserted into the slits is folded back to a back yoke part side with the ribs interposed therein, and fixed by being interposed between the ribs at tip portions of projections of adjacent insulators. Accordingly, the insulating film can be assuredly fixed and prevented from escaping from a slot.

  • Patent number: 8946970
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the construction of electric motors, where expandable material is inserted into the slots in which magnet wires are positioned and expanded in the slots to mechanically restrain the wires. One embodiment comprises a downhole electric motor such as might be used in an electric submersible pump (ESP) system. The motor has a stator with multiple slots in which magnet wires are positioned. A slot liner is positioned in each slot and an expansion pad is positioned in each slot between the slot liner and the slot wall nearest the bore of the stator. The wires are positioned inside the slot liner. When the motor is almost completely assembled, it is filled with oil. Some of the oil is absorbed by the expansion pads, which then expand to fill the unoccupied volume in the slots, thereby restraining the movement of the wires within the slots.
