Abstract:
1. An assembly for mechanically clamping a stator core in a dynamoelectric machine, said dynamoelectric machine including at said stator core laminated core-end magnetic flux shunts, each of said flux shunts having first and second surfaces for receiving the clamping assembly, said first and second surfaces arranged to define a step, the assembly comprising: an inner support ring configured to engage an entire 360° circumference of the first receiving surface of the flux shunt; and an outer support ring configured to engage an entire 360° circumference of the second receiving surface of the flux shunt, wherein said inner support ring and said outer support ring constitute separate individual rings, and further wherein each of said rings has a continuous annular cross section so that the respective engagement provided by the inner and outer rings is circumferentially continuous.
