Abstract
Abstract An arrangement for supporting insulated conductor components within the slots of the stator component of a dynamo-electric machine under compression so as to inhibit vibration thereof in which included with the one or more multi-conductor coil sections in the slot is a multi-layer resilient element including at least one felt layer and at least one hard layer, the ratio of the thickness of the felt layer to the hard layer preferably being 3 : 1 and the resilient element having a spring characteristic which is degressive in relation to the spring force.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
In an arrangement for supporting insulated conductor components within the slots of the stator component of a dynamo-electric machine under compression so as to inhibit vibration thereof, and wherein a resilient element is located in the slots along with the conductor components, and the conductor components and resilient element are placed under compression by means including slot key closing off the entrance to the slot, the improvement wherein said resilient element is constituted by a planar multi-layer structure possessing a spring characteristic which is degressive in relation to the spring force and which includes at least one layer of felt adjacent a layer or hard material, the ratio of the thickness of said felt layer to said hard layer being substantially 3:1, and wherein said felt layer includes an interior layer of a synthetic rubber, the ratio of the thickness of said felt layer to said synthetic rubber layer being in the range from 5:1 to 3:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
