Abstract
A magnetic wedge for use in toothed stators holds the stator windings in the slots formed between the teeth of the stator. The magnetic slot wedge comprises a stack of magnetic material with a width corresponding to the width of the slot. The laminations each have central bridge portions connecting a first and second magnetic region, the bridge portion saturating during machine operation. The bridge and the first and second magnetic regions define an opening which, when the laminations are stacked, form a channel having a narrowed entrance. A fiberglass rod fits inside the channel and provides axial stiffness to the stacked laminations which clamp on the fiberglass rod.
