Abstract
A package of laminations includes a plurality of lamella segments, which are arranged in layers and embodied to be connected together as ring segments. Each of the lamella segments has a plurality of cutouts and at least one of the lamella segments has at least three cutouts. The lamella segments are interconnected via sleeves. A method for manufacturing a package of laminations, a multi-plate coupling employing the package of laminations and an industrial application using the package of laminations are also described.
Claims11
A package of laminations, comprising a plurality of lamella segments, each of the lamella segments having a plurality of cutouts and at least one of the lamella segments having at least three cutouts, wherein the lamella segments are arranged in layers oriented perpendicular to a main axis of rotation and connected together in each layer to form ring segments with a closed circumferential outer contour, with a first lamella segment in a first layer projecting beyond a second lamella segment in a subsequent adjoining second layer so as to overlap a space between two second lamella segments along a circumferential direction.
A method for manufacturing a package of laminations having a plurality of lamella segments embodied as ring segments, with each ring segment having at least three cutouts for accommodating a sleeve, said method comprising:
- determining a separation pattern for the plurality of lamella segments;
- separating the plurality of lamella segments from a blank sheet of metal commensurate with the separation pattern;
- and
- arranging the separated lamella segments in layers oriented perpendicular to a main axis of rotation and connecting the separated lamella together in each layer to form ring segments with a closed circumferential outer contour, with a first lamella segment in a first layer projecting beyond a second lamella segment in a subsequent adjoining second layer so as to overlap a space between two second lamella segments along a circumferential direction.
A multi-plate coupling, comprising:
- a first flange;
- a second flange;
- and
- a package of laminations releasably connecting the first flange to the second flange for transmission of a torque, said package of laminations comprising a plurality of lamella segments, with each of the lamella segments having a plurality of cutouts and at least one of the lamella segments having at least three cutouts, wherein the lamella segments are arranged in layers oriented perpendicular to a main axis of rotation and connected together in each layer to form ring segments with a closed circumferential outer contour, with a first lamella segment in a first layer projecting beyond a second lamella segment in a subsequent adjoining second layer so as to overlap a space between two second lamella segments along a circumferential direction.
An industrial application, comprising:
- a drive unit having an output shaft;
- a driven unit having an input shaft;
- and
- a coupling connecting the output shaft to the input shaft for torque transmission, wherein the coupling is constructed as a multi-plate coupling and comprises a first flange, a second flange, and a package of laminations releasably connecting the first flange to the second flange for transmission of a torque, said package of laminations comprising a plurality of lamella segments, with each of the lamella segments having a plurality of cutouts and at least one of the lamella segments having at least three cutouts, wherein the lamella segments are arranged in layers oriented perpendicular to a main axis of rotation and connected together in each layer to form ring segments with a closed circumferential outer contour, with a first lamella segment in a first layer projecting beyond a second lamella segment in a subsequent adjoining second layer so as to overlap a space between two second lamella segments along a circumferential direction.
