The object of the process is to obtain an intermediate short-circuiting ring in a squirrel cage rotor by filling. It makes use of the technique consisting in automatically cutting out and assembling rotor laminations by means of a follow-on machine in which the laminations are cut out from a strip, rotated through a determined angle and provided with half-cutouts for their assembly in a packet. The process consists in eliminating at least one tooth in every two from the laminations whose position in the packet corresponds to the situation of the intermediate short-circuiting ring, and turning these laminations through an angle such that when filling is effected a continuous annular zone of nonmagnetic material is obtained.

Process for producing a squirrel-cage rotor

This invention relates to a device for driving a flexible protection element rolled up on a winding shaft, the free end of the element being connected through one or a plurality of flexible bonds to a winding drum. The winding drums and the winding shaft are coupled through reversible reduction gears to corresponding electric motors and to a pair of electromagnetic brakes of the type operating by current deficiency. The first motor is adapted to rotate in a first direction for rolling up the flexible bonds. The second motor is adapted to rotate in a direction opposite to that of the first motor for rolling up the flexible protection element. Electrical or electronic means are provided for actuating anyone of the two motors and simultaneously energizing the two brakes. This invention is applicable notably for driving protection tents, canvasses and the like in glasshouses, greenhouses and the like.
