Abstract
The present invention facilitates the placement of laminationsonto keybarsof stator generators frames. Laminations need to be tightly fit onto keybars, however, the same need for tightness makes stacking laminations onto keybars particularly onerous. This is magnified when donuts, which are preassembled groups of laminations, are attempted to be stacked onto the keybars. The present invention provides for enlarged groovesthat more easily accept the keybars. This makes stacking laminations, both individually and in donuts, much easier. The laminations are then held in position by the insertion of a wedge. The wedge may be placed to disperse forcestransferred to the laminations in a circumferential manner
