Abstract
The stator of a linear motor is comprised of a core having many parallel grooves; three cables are preassembled so that rungs of a ladder-like configuration can be laid into the grooves. The cables have, individually, a meandering configuration, and overlapping loops are tied together. The cables each have a semiconductive layer for shielding, i.e., insulation sheathings that include conductive additives. Bare wires are strung along the assembly and clamped onto the cables to electrically interconnect the shields as well as different points of the same shield for grounding.
Claims7
A polyphase a.c. winding for a linear motor, comprising in combination
- a plurality of cables, each one arranged in a meandering pattern, the cables being arranged to overlap and to establish a plurality of parallely extending cable portions, wherein spaced-apart but adjacent portions pertain to different ones of the cables, the parallel portions being provided for placement into respectively parallel extending stator core grooves;
- the cables each having at least one semiconductive shielding layer, at least a portion of the layer of each cable being exposed;
- at least one bare wire being strung along the pattern, off said parallel portions, and being in contact-making engagement with said shielding layers of said cables, said wire provided for connection to ground;
- and
- means for tying the cables together.
A stator for a linear motor, comprising in combination
- core means having a plurality of spaced-apart grooves extending parallel to each other and transverse to the extension of the core means;
- a plurality of cables laid into the grooves in a meandering pattern so that adjacent to each two ones of the grooves two different cables overlap;
- means for tying the overlapping cables together;
- the cables having an outer, electrically semiconductive shield being at least partially exposed;
- and
- at least one wire strung along the core and being clamped to the cables, whereby each wire makes contact with all cables, and at different points of each cable.
