A stator of a dynamoelectric machine is preassembled using guidance members which are disposed at a skew angle with respect to a central axis of the stator. The outer perimeter of the preassembled elements is then machined to form guidance elements disposed parallel to a central axis of the stator. Then, the preassembled elements are mounted in a frame on further guidance elements disposed parallel to the central axis of the stator. During final assembly, axial compression forces act parallel to guidance forces, whereby hanging up is avoided.
