In certain embodiments, an electromechanical device includes a rotor (54) having a rotational axis (26), and a stator (10) disposed about the rotor (54). The stator (10) may include a circumferentially laminated section (14) comprising a plurality of circumferential segments (28, 30) disposed one after another in a circumferential direction relative to the rotational axis (26). The stator (10) also may include a radially laminated section (16) comprising a plurality of radial segments (40) disposed one after another in a radial direction relative to the rotational axis (26). In addition, the stator (10) may include an axially laminated section (12) comprising a plurality of axial segments (18, 20) disposed one after another in an axial direction relative to the rotational axis (26).
