Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing a commutator ring (10) for a commutator of an electrical machine, in which the laminas (12) of the commutator ring and fastening means (18) are formed out of a band material (27), and a selectable number of laminas (12) are then closed to form the commutator ring. The fastening means are produced with a special tool (35) in the form of dovetail grooves (22) by means of a so-called furrowing operation, which is done simultaneously from both face ends of the laminas (12).
Claims6
A method of producing a commutator of an electrical machine, comprising the steps of forming a commutator ring which has laminas;
- disposing the laminas side by side over a circumference of the commutator ring and shaping the laminas from a band material by engraved grooves;
- anchoring the laminas in an insulator body by dovetail grooves provided on inner sides and extending axially of the laminas so as to act as fastening means;
- and forming the dovetail grooves by simultaneous lateral furrowing of the laminas parallel to surfaces of the laminas, beginning at both face ends of the laminas by means of one tool each, so that approximately in a middle of the laminas, a groove-free zone remains between the dovetail grooves.
