Abstract A rotary electrical machine is provided with a laminated stack of iron sheets in which slots are formed and winding conductors inserted therein, the entrances to the slots then being closed by insertion of slot keys along the slots. In order to maintain the winding conductors in each slot under compression and to apply a pressure against the slot keys, a row of ring-shaped disk springs in the form of a truncated cone and made from a glass fiber-reinforced synthetic resin is inserted in the slot between the slot key and the winding conductors prior to installation of the slot key. The diameter D of the truncated conical springs is made equal to the width of the slot and the central opening therein has a maximum diameter of 0.3 D.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
In a rotary electrical machine comprising a laminated stack of iron sheets in which slots are provided and in which the winding conductors are inserted and the entrance to the slots are then closed by insertion of slot keys along complementary configured surfaces of the slots, the improvement wherein a row of individually acting disc springs made from an electrically insulative material are inserted in each slot between said slot key and the winding conductors, each of said disc springs serving to apply its own pressure to the slot key and to maintain the winding conductors under a compressive force.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
In a rotary electrical machine comprising a laminated stack of iron sheets in which slots are provided and in which the winding conductors are inserted and the entrance to the slots are then closed by insertion of slot keys along complementary configured surfaces of the slots, the improvement wherein a row of individually acting disc springs made from an electrically insulative material are inserted in each slot between said slot key and the winding conductors, each of said disc springs serving to apply its own pressure to the slot key and to maintain the winding conductors under a compressive force.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A rotary electrical machine as defined in claim 1 wherein said individually acting disc springs have a truncated cone configuration.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A rotary electrical machine as defined in claim 2 wherein the diameter D of said truncated conical springs is equal to the width of the slot and the central opening therein has a maximum diameter of 0.3 D.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
A rotary electrical machine as defined in claim 1 and which includes a strip of insulation material between said winding conductors and said individually acting disc springs which have a truncated cone configuration and are glued to said strip of insulation material to form a row extending longitudinally of the slot.
