Armature, armature manufacturing method, and rotating electrical device
An armature manufacturing method includes preparing a core member that includes a rotation shaft at a central portion and that is formed with plural teeth in a radiating shape centered on the rotation shaft; and winding winding wires onto slots between the plural teeth so as to form plural types of winding coil sections, each with a different winding wire diameter.
1. An armature comprising:
a rotation shaft;
a core member in which the rotation shaft is disposed at a central portion and that includes a plurality of teeth formed in a radiating shape centered on the rotation shaft; and
a plurality of types of winding coil sections that are respectively formed by winding winding wires onto slots between the plurality of teeth, wherein:
the rotation shaft includes a notch shaped D-shaped cut portion by forming a D-shaped cut in a leading end portion thereof;
the plurality of types of winding coil sections include a plurality of first winding coil sections and a plurality of second winding coil sections, the first winding coil sections being composed of a winding wire that is of a wider diameter and a heavier weight than the winding wire that composes the second winding coil sections; and
the plurality of first winding coil sections and the plurality of second winding coil sections are formed by distributed winding, such that a winding wire inserted into a first slot, that is one of the slots that faces the D-shaped cut portion, is the winding wire forming the first winding coil sections, and a winding wire inserted into a second slot at the opposite side to the first slot across the rotation shaft is the winding wire forming the second winding coil sections; and
a reduction in weight of the rotation shaft due to the D-shaped cut is equivalent to a weight difference between the plurality of first winding coil sections and the plurality of second winding coil sections.
2. A rotating electrical device comprising the armature of claim 1 .
