Abstract

A method for producing a rotor for an electric rotating machine includes spraying in a rolling manner a first metallic material and a second metallic material, which is different from the first metallic material, onto at least part of a substantially cylindrical outer surface of a shaft body by a thermal spraying method to form on the shaft body a coating which forms at least part of a squirrel cage.

Claims (25)

1. A method for producing a rotor for an electric rotating machine, said method comprising spraying in a rolling manner a first metallic material and a second metallic material, which is different from the first metallic material, onto at least part of a substantially cylindrical outer surface of a shaft body by a thermal spraying method to form on the shaft body a coating which forms at least part of a squirrel cage, and producing the shaft body from the second metallic material.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the thermal spraying method includes cold gas spraying.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second metallic material is a soft-magnetic material.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first metallic material has a conductivity of more than 40 mega Siemens per meter.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the spraying of the first and second metallic materials in a rolling manner is implemented alternately and/or on an evolvent path.

6. A method for producing a rotor for an electric rotating machine, said method comprising spraying in a rolling manner a first metallic material and a second metallic material, which is different from the first metallic material, onto at least part of a substantially cylindrical outer surface of a shaft body by a thermal spraying method to form on the shaft body a coating which forms at least part of a squirrel cage, wherein the first metallic material is sprayed with a first spraying device and the second metallic material is sprayed with a second spraying device.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least part of the squirrel cage is formed by the first metallic material.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the squirrel cage is embedded completely into the rotor.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the thermal spraying method includes cold gas spraying.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the spraying of the first and second metallic materials in a rolling manner is implemented alternately and/or on an evolvent path.

11. A method for producing a rotor for an electric rotating machine, said method comprising spraying in a rolling manner a first metallic material and a second metallic material, which is different from the first metallic material, onto at least part of a substantially cylindrical outer surface of a shaft body by a thermal spraying method to form on the shaft body a coating which forms at least part of a squirrel cage, and spraying a third material onto at least part of the substantially cylindrical outer surface of the shaft body such as to insulate the first and second metallic materials from one another.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising connecting at least two of the first and second metallic materials and the third material of the coating in a form-fit manner.

13. A rotor for an electric rotating machine, said rotor comprising:

a shaft body; and

a squirrel cape formed by a coating made of a first metallic material and a second metallic material, which is different from the first metallic material, and applied onto at least part of a substantially cylindrical outer surface of the shaft body,

wherein the second metallic material is a soft-magnetic material, and

wherein the shaft body is made from the second metallic material, said at least part of the squirrel cage being formed by the first metallic material.

14. The rotor of claim 13 , wherein the rotor is configured for operation with a rotational speed of at least 5,000 rpm.

15. The rotor of claim 13 , wherein the first metallic material has a conductivity of more than 40 mega Siemens per meter.

16. An electric rotating machine, comprising a rotor and a stator surrounding the rotor with an air gap therebetween, said rotor as claimed in claim 13 .

17. A rotor for an electric rotating machine, said rotor comprising:

a shaft body; and

a squirrel cage formed by a coating made of a first metallic material and a second metallic material, which is different from the first metallic material, and applied onto at least part of a substantially cylindrical outer surface of the shaft body, wherein the coating includes a third material to insulate the first and second metallic materials from one another.

18. The rotor of claim 17 , wherein the second metallic material is a soft-magnetic material.

19. The rotor of claim 17 , wherein at least two of the first and second metallic materials and the third material of the coating are connected in a form-fit manner.
