Abstract

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a magnetic sheet stack for an electric machine comprising: a plurality of magnetic sheets electrically insulated from one another by being spaced apart from one another predominantly with a non-vanishing clearance; a respective set of ceramic spacers distributed between each of the plurality of magnetic sheets from an adjacent sheet in the stack; and a respective gas layer filling a gap between a predominant part of a planar extent of each of the plurality of magnetic sheets allowing a cooling fluid to be circulated between the adjacent sheets.

Claims (16)

1. A magnetic sheet stack for an electric machine, the sheet stack comprising:

a plurality of magnetic sheets electrically insulated from one another by being spaced apart from one another predominantly with a non-vanishing clearance;

a respective set of ceramic spacers distributed between each of the plurality of magnetic sheets from an adjacent sheet in the stack; and

a respective gas layer filling a gap between a predominant part of a planar extent of each of the plurality of magnetic sheets allowing a cooling fluid to be circulated between the adjacent sheets.

2. The magnetic sheet stack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the respective gas layer comprises air.

3. The magnetic sheet stack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ceramic spacers are held in a force-fit manner between adjacent sheets of the stack.

4. The magnetic sheet stack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spacers comprise aluminum oxide and/or zirconium oxide and/or magnesium oxide and/or yttrium oxide and/or boron nitride and/or yttrium aluminum garnet and/or silicon nitride and/or silicon dioxide.

5. The magnetic sheet stack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein spacers comprise particles of electrically insulating material.

6. The magnetic sheet stack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the particles have a diameter of no more than 300 micrometers.

7. The magnetic sheet stack as claimed in claim 6 , wherein diameters of the particles have a size distribution which is a monomodal or at least approximately Gaussian distribution with a mean value of at least 0.5 micrometers and/or no more than 20 micrometers.

8. The magnetic sheet stack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the particles are essentially spherical.

9. A method for manufacturing a magnetic sheet stack, the method comprising:

distributing a suspension of ceramic particles onto one or more magnetic sheets;

stacking the magnetic sheets to form the magnetic sheet stack; and

pressing the stacked magnetic sheets together.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein distributing the suspension includes spraying and/or printing the suspension and/or dipping the magnetic sheets into the suspension.
