Abstract
An apparatus (structure) is provided to support a superconductor winding () of an electromotive machine. An elongated loop () provides radial support to the winding. A base assembly () may include a base module () arranged to anchor the loop at a proximate end () of the elongated loop by way of a tubular coupling (). The tubular coupling may further provide a mechanical connection relative to an axially-adjacent base module. A bracket assembly () may define an interior recess to receive a portion of the winding and to support the elongated loop at a distal end () of the elongated loop, such as by way of a support (). A lateral-extending loop () may have a first end connected to the bracket assembly () and a second end connected to the base module () to transfer to the rotor core lateral loads, which may be experienced by the winding.
