Contact us if you have
any special or unique configuration. We can
make almost any work.
|
The
following information describes our basic manufacturing
steps and processes to produce stators.
|
These processes can be customized
as necessary to meet Customer requirements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1).
Lamm
Stamping |
Lamm
steel from
quality
steel |
manufacturers
such as
Nippon |
Steel (Japan),
Posco
Steel
(Korea), |
and/or
Bao
Steel
(China).
Core
loss |
and
stacking
factor are
stable. |
|
|
|
|
Typical
grades
include
50A290
(M19) and
50A600
(M45). |
|
2).
Lamm Stacking |
All
lamms are
cleaned, aligned, |
and
TIG welded
to stack assemblies. |
Custom-made tools and
fixtures |
provide
alignment
per design |
specifications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3).
Insulating
and Curing |
Insulation
is provided in multiple |
forms.
Epoxy coatings, including |
3M™
Scotchcast™ Powder Epoxy |
Coatings 260 or 5555 10G, typically
|
ranging from 0.012 inches thickness, |
|
|
|
|
are applied with a fluidized bed
process and heat cured. |
|
4).
Coil Winding |
Magnet
wire of the specified |
type and size is wound on |
custom precision chucks to |
produce coils of the
correct |
|
|
|
|
diameter.
When possible, coils are
wound in series to
eliminate |
interconnections. In some
special applications
magnet wire is |
wound
in-place over the
insulated lamination
stack. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5).
Coil
Inserting |
Wound coils are inserted into the insulated
slots of the stack. Specialized techniques are |
used to minimize coil size and thereby attain
lower resistance values, and shorter end turns. |
When
specified insulation is also placed
between coil phases within the slots and/or
within |
the
coil
end-turns. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6).
End-Turn
Forming |
End-turns
are usually laced to form a neat
package without loose strands of
magnet |
wire coils.
Using a press and a
specially made forming fixture,
the magnet wire coils |
are
formed
(compressed) into
their required
dimensions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7).
Lead Wire
Soldering
(Optional) |
Lead wires of
the specified type, size, and
length are connected to
the magnet
wire coils |
using high temperature solder.
Brazing is also an
available method. Lead
connections are |
then laced
into the
top end-turns (lead end)
to hold them securely
in place. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8).
Lacing
|
Windings are tightly
formed and laced to
act as a single
thermal mass to
reduce hot spots. |
Tightly packing the
windings also
reduces wire
vibration that cause
acoustical noise and |
insulation
failure. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
9).
Varnishing
and Baking |
Varnish operation utilizes customer specified
materials and processes. Facilities, such as |
Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI), submersion,
trickle down, and heat curing techniques, |
are
available. Varnishes on
the stator ID can be
cleaned. As an addition
or
alternative to |
varnishing,
stator assemblies can be
encapsulated with Customer specified
potting materials. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10).
CNC
Machining |
Precise
machining of stack surfaces is
available. Stacks can be ground
(outside diameter), |
honed
(inside
diameter), turned, and milled to
meet to meet the needed dimensions
and |
features.
Tolerances of ±
0.001 inches (or
closer if required) can be
maintained. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
11).
Physical Inspection
|
Inspection
on stack
coating thickness using a coating
thickness gauge.
|
Verification
on stack coating adhesion using an impact
test apparatus.
|
Dimensional
check on a finished stator using a
caliper, a micro meter, and
an indicator.
|
Visual
inspection using a magnifier, or a
projector when it is necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
12).
Electrical
Testing/Label Printing
|
Every
unit undergoes a Quality Assurance review.
High
potential voltage, surge, resistance,
|
Back EMF and
other electrical tests are performed as necessary to
assure conformance to
|
Customer specifications.
Test results
are electronically recorded and
stored for future
analysis.
|
If
requested, test results may
accompany each product shipments.
