Abstract:
A method of winding the coils of a rotating electrical machine on a circular core of magnetic material with a plurality of magnetic pole teeth extending radially from the circular core, each of the magnetic pole teeth defining a core and slots formed there between each of the slots defines a mouth that is formed between adjacent outer ends of the cores, said winding method comprising the steps of positioning a threading needle having an opening through which the wire for the winding of the coils is fed into proximity to one of the mouths, moving the needle opening in a path around one of the pole teeth and at one side of the slot without moving the needle in any substantial distance along the length of the one pole tooth to form a first winding, employing a device for directing a portion of at least the initial winding toward the pole tooth, continuing the movement of the needle opening in a path around the one of the pole teeth at the one side of the slot without moving the needle in any substantial distance along the length of the one pole tooth to form succeeding windings.
