A pallet for handling armatures (10) for electric motors on automatic production lines, having a shaft (12) on which an armature stack of ferromagnetic sheets (11) and a commutator (13) are driven. In particular, the pallet comprises a base (2) on which support means (5) are mounted for engaging with stack (11) of armature (10). The support means allow to gripping means (30) to pick it up in a workstation. The pallet can receiving armatures of a same family, with armature stack of diameter D +−#, with different shape and size and position of the shaft, or of the commutator, independently from whether the armature is wound or still to be wound. The pick up of the armature from the pallet can be made either from the above or from below. Also embodiments are provided for engaging with the shaft of the armature.
A pallet for handling electric motor armatures on automatic production lines, said armatures having an axis and comprising a plurality of portions having axial symmetry, in particular a shaft and an armature stack of ferromagnetic sheets driven on said shaft, comprising a base on which suitable support means are mounted for engaging with at least one of said portions having axial symmetry and for keeping an armature with said axis substantially horizontal preventing it from moving during its transportation
A method for handling electric motor armatures on automatic production lines using a pallet, said armatures having an axis and comprising a plurality of portions having axial symmetry, in particular a shaft and an armature stack of ferromagnetic sheets driven on said shaft, comprising the steps of
