Axial-flux electric machine and method for assembling a stator of an axial-flux electric machine

A method for assembling a stator of an axial flux electrical machine, in which the stator comprises a plurality of wound cores arranged on a support disk, the method comprising:

• mounting a first split coil on a first split core part;
• fitting the assembled first split coil and first core part to one side of the support disk;
• positioning a second split coil on the other side of the support disk;
• mounting the second split coil to the second split core part and joining the second split core part to the first split core part, forming each wound core of the plurality of wound cores;
• repeating the above steps for all wound cores of the plurality of wound cores;
• housing the stator in a mold type device;
• encapsulating the stator housed in the mold type device in a resin and forming, during the encapsulation process, at least one continuous coiled cooling channel on each side of the support disk;
• and
• arranging a closing plate over the resin on each side of the support disk, sealing the at least one continuous coiled cooling channel formed on each corresponding side of the support disk.
