Abstract
A core for an electric machine having a first lamination plate with a first staple, a second lamination plate with a second staple and a second hole, and a third lamination plate with a third hole and a third opening is provided. The first and second lamination plates are rotated with respect to one another so that the first staple is positioned through the second hole and is bent over the second lamination plate to secure the first and second lamination plates to one another. Similarly, the second and third lamination plates are rotated with respect to one another so that the second staple is positioned through the third hole and is bent over the third lamination plate to secure the second and third lamination plates to one another. In addition, the first staple that is bent over the second lamination plate is received in the third opening.
