Abstract
Abstract A method of making a motor includes placing radially deformable support cuffs around the protruding winding portion of the stator windings, inserting a core therethrough, placing the assembly in a hollow mould and closing the mould to press the cuffs radially inwardly against the windings, filling the remaining voids in the mould with curable casting material, and curing the material. The resulting unit is removed and the rotor and bearings are inserted. Embodiments of support cuffs are disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A process for the manufacture of an electric motor, particularly a squirrel cage motor, comprising the steps of providing a split casing mould having a hollow space dimensioned to receive the stator and stator winding portions and a central mandrel-shaped core and to leave voids around the winding portions; placing a support cuff over each of the winding portions which protrude axially from the stator so that portions of the support cuff lie radially inwardly and outwardly of the winding portions; inserting the core through the support cuffs and the stator; placing the assembly including the stator, the windings, the support cuffs and the core into the mould and closing the mould so that those portions of the support cuff lying radially outwardly of the winding portions are pressed radially inward against the winding portions; filling the voids around the winding portions with curable electrically insulating casting material, and curing the material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
66 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the support cuff is formed from a planar arc-shaped strip of glass cloth impregnated with thermosetting resin and having openings for the through flow of casting material, and incisions along its outer edge, the strip having been formed by pressing and the application of heat into a hollow cone-shaped support cuff with an annular portion having a U-shaped cross-section.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the mould is provided with mould surfaces for the formation of bores to receive bearing supports.
