Abstract
A stator core design and motor winding method maximizing slot fill are provided. A stator core ring section and open U-shaped slot elements are each formed of multiple layers of lamination steel. Laminations forming the slots have a U-shaped profile corresponding to that of the slots. A straight portion of each lamination adjacent to the slot opening is folded to form stator teeth. Laminations forming the ring section and the slots may have a uniform or variable axial thicknesses and materials. A movable jig configures conducting wire and insulating material into a desired configuration for insertion into the open slots, fills each slot with the wire and insulating material, and partially crimps the open end of the filled slot, leaving an opening. When all slots are filled, the stator core is compressed to a final diameter, inserted into a ring-shaped stator element, and sealed to form a complete stator assembly.
