Abstract
Locking strips secure winding modules to a rotor. The locking strips have paired deep and shallow recesses along a long edge and are disposed in a groove along the rotor. Upon assembly of the winding module, the deep recesses of the locking strips are aligned, enabling the winding supports of the winding module to engage in the deep recesses. The strips are then axially displaced in opposite directions relative to one another to engage portions of the strips within grooves of the winding supports and edges of the shallow recesses to straddle the winding supports. Pins are received in aligned holes of the locking strips in the locked configuration. Consequently, the modular winding is retained against axial and peripheral movement and outward displacement along a parallel face of the rotor shaft.
