Abstract:
A process for forming a lamination stack of superposed metallic laminations, comprising the steps of: providing a locking lamination having locking openings adjacent to respective projecting tabs; providing a passage lamination with passage openings, each having a deformed edge portion; axially aligning and fitting each tab of the locking lamination through a passage opening of the passage lamination; and pressing each tab against an adjacent face of the passage lamination, until each tab is contained in a respective passage opening of the passage lamination and partially seated on an edge portion of the passage opening, deformed to the inside of the locking opening of the locking lamination, axially locking the latter to the passage lamination.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a laminated stator core includes: forming a band-shaped yoke core piece having a shape that a yoke of the laminated stator core is developed in a straight line and having concave connection portions in the inner circumferential edge thereof by punching a metal plate; forming a laminated yoke body by winding and laminating the band-shaped yoke core piece in a spiral shape and coupling the laminated band-shaped yoke core piece in a caulking manner; forming a magnetic core piece having a convex connection portion at the base end thereof by punching a metal plate; forming a laminated magnetic body by laminating and coupling a predetermined number of the magnetic core pieces to each other in a caulking manner; and coupling the laminated yoke body and the laminated magnetic body to each other by winding a coil around the laminated magnetic body and then inserting the convex connection portions into the concave connection portions.
Abstract:
A stack of metallic laminations, a metallic lamination and a process for forming a lamination stack. The stack of laminations includes at least one locking lamination provided with at least two locking openings and at least one passage lamination comprising at least two passage openings, each locking lamination incorporating a tab that passes through a passage opening of a lamination seated against the locking lamination, said tab being bent so as to be contained in said passage opening and seated on an edge portion of the latter, deformed to the inside of the locking opening of the locking lamination, and at least one of the parts of locking lamination and passage lamination further comprising a lock means actuating in a lock receiving means provided in the other of said parts.

Abstract:
A stator core includes: a laminated body in which a plurality of intermediate plates that have dowels are laminated so as to be integrated by dowel crimping between layers; and a pair of end plates that are disposed so as to be positioned on opposite sides of two end surfaces of the laminated body, and a receiving aperture that extends parallel to an axis of rotation is formed on the laminated body, a bent portion is disposed on the end plates, and the end plates are joined to the laminated body by engaging the bent portion in the receiving aperture.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a stack of interlock laminations and thereby shaping the stack of laminations into a desired shape. Each of the individual laminations is formed by a series of punching operations from sheet stock material. The laminations are blanked from the stock material, are stacked atop one another, and are interlocked in a choke. The laminations are thereafter repositioned to form the stack into a second shape. The stacking axis and the core axis may be either parallel or perpendicular to one another. The second shape of the core may be variable in that the second shape may be changed from time to time or may be continuously changed.
Abstract:
A progressive stamping die assembly apparatus and method in which strip stock material advances in a first direction through the apparatus and substantially simultaneously with the strip stock movement, a transversely moveable die station moves in opposite second and third directions substantially perpendicular to the first direction to one of a plurality of predetermined positions.
Abstract:
A shapeable lamination stack and method of manufacture. The lamination stack includes a plurality of interlocked laminations which may be stamped using a conventional progressive die. The laminations are stacked in a first stack shape wherein each of the laminations are mutually parallel and positioned perpendicular to linear axis. The laminations are relatively repositionable wherein the laminations form a second stack shape wherein at least one of the laminations is oriented non-parallel to another one of the laminations. The stack may also include spacing elements to separate a pair of laminations by a spacing volume. The spacing volume has a substantially uniform thickness when the stack is in the first stack shape and at least one of the spacing volumes has a non-uniform thickness when the stack is in the second stack shape. The spacing element may be lamination or a integral projection located on one of the laminations.
Abstract:
A stator core and method of making, the stator core and a plurality of separate poles are formed from lamination segments that are each stamped from a single piece of stock. The core includes a plurality of fixed pole segments and a plurality of engagement openings configured to receive and engage the separate pole segments. The method of making the stator core allows for maximum use of the material from which the laminations of the stator are stamped as well as an efficient use of the available space within the stator core. In addition, the method allows for maximum copper slot fill.
Abstract:
A plurality of strips formed with tooth portions and core back portions is punched from a single band of sheet steel. Next, a plurality of strips is stacked such that the tooth portions line up together and the core back portions line up together and the stacked plurality of strips is integrated to form a strip lamination. Then, the strip lamination is wound spirally and the wound strip lamination is integrated to obtain a stator core.
