Abstract
An improved commutator anchoring system and methods of manufacturing such a system are disclosed. The system includes a wound fiberglass or other ring embedded in the internal core of the commutator to reinforce the resulting structure and enhance its thermal and mechanical stability. The reinforcing ring also functions as a form about which various anchors can be patterned, increasing their uniformity over free-form designs.
