A process to perform a flaring operation on a rotating electrical device (stator) designed with a number of these spaced axially oriented splines around its perimeter. The design of the stator requires that these perimeter splines possess a flared outer end, creating a rounded cavity contour between adjacent splines to effectively retaining the stator winding in place. The method of this invention reduces damage to the stator windings and allows more wire fill during the manufacturing process.

Sequential roll-forming process for a stator

An alternator has a rotor with a plurality of permanent magnets disposed between opposing claw pole members and a field coil. The plurality of permanent magnets are secured to at least one ring-shaped carrier which surrounds the field coil and locates the magnets into appropriate positions between the fingers of the claw pole members.
