Abstract

The present invention relates to an electric motor and to a method for manufacturing an electric motor. The electric motor comprises at least a stator ( 24 ), a rotor ( 25 ) and an air gap ( 26 ) between these, in which motor the stator and/or rotor comprises slots ( 4 ) and teeth ( 5 ) between slots, and in which the stator and/or rotor has a concentrated winding fitted in the slots. In the method of the invention, the phase windings are fitted as a concentrated fractional-slot winding.

Claims (7)

1. Drive motor for a conveying apparatus, comprising at least a stator ( 24 ), a rotor ( 25 ) and an air gap ( 26 ) between these, in which motor the stator and/or rotor comprises slots ( 4 ) formed by a slot bottom ( 9 ) and a slot opening ( 10 ), and teeth ( 5 ) between slots, and in which the stator and/or rotor has a concentrated winding ( 1 , 2 , 6 , 7 ) fitted in the slots, characterized in that the concentrated winding is a fractional-slot winding having a maximum slot number of 0.5 and that the width of the slot opening ( 10 ) facing the air gap is at least 75% and at most 125% of the width of the slot bottom ( 9 ).

2. Motor according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fractional-slot winding is a concentrated two-layer winding and that the winding is fitted in slots ( 4 ) having open slot openings to allow the winding to be more easily fitted into the slots.

3. Motor according to claim 1 or 2 , the winding of which motor comprises n phase windings, characterized in that at least one phase winding ( 14 ) comprises only one continuous conductor fitted as a coil group to facilitate mechanical winding of the coil group.

4. Motor according to any one of claim 1 or 2 , characterized in that the winding of the rotor ( 25 ) and/or stator ( 24 ) is a fractional-slot winding whose slot number is ⅖.

5. Motor according to any one of claim 1 or 2 , characterized in that the said motor is a permanently magnetized synchronous machine.

6. Motor according to claim 5 , characterized in that the motor has a permanently magnetized rotor ( 25 ) and that the rotor magnets ( 27 ) are placed on the surface of the rotor and the protective shield ( 28 ) of the magnets is preferably made from glass fiber laminate to reduce eddy current losses.

7. Motor according anyone of claim 1 or 2 , characterized in that the said motor is an elevator motor.
