Each of the segments comprises a plurality of laminations arranged side by side forming a lamination stack with axially opposite sides. The lamination stack has an end cap abutting an axial side of the lamination stack. The end cap has first and second posts extending axially therefrom. At least one of the posts defining a wire path for wire wound around the stack. Each of the connectors comprises a bridge portion. The bridge portion has openings dimensioned to receive the posts in a manner that the connector is removably attachable to the post of the end cap of a segment and the post of the end cap of an adjacent segment. The connector has an insulator portion projecting from the bridge portion. The insulator portion extends between adjacent segments when the connector is removably attached to adjacent segments.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2013Publication date: November 28, 2013Applicant: Baldor Electric CompanyInventors: Matthew D.

Patent number: 8590137Abstract: A stator provided with annular split stator cores, formed by stacking steel plates. Each plate includes a yoke and a stator tooth. The cores include a yoke portion a stator tooth portion. The stator is manufactured by arranging an electromagnetic steel plate between a first die and a second die. The first die has a hole shaped as a steel plate. The second die has a projection inserted into the hole and shaped as a steel plate. The steel plates are formed by the first and the second dies. In a gap between an inner surface of the first die that defines the hole and an outer surface of the projection, a gap at a part that forms the stator tooth portion is larger than a gap at a part that defines a circumferential end surface of the yoke portion located in a circumferential direction of the stator core.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2009Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroaki Urano, Eiji Yamada, Kazutaka Tatematsu, Yasuhiro Endo, Yasuaki Tahara, Akihiro Tanaka, Kenji Honda
