Abstract:
1. A rotating electric machine, comprising: a rotor configured to rotate about an axis and including a rotor laminate stack having layered laminations pressed in an axial direction to form a composite, the rotor laminate stack being radially divided into an inner mechanical region and an outer electrical region; a rotor winding disposed in the electrical region of the rotor laminate stack; a stator concentrically surrounding the rotor; and a press plate configured to press the layered laminations in the axial direction, the press plate being radially divided into a separate inner press plate and a separate outer press plate so as to correspond to the radial division of the rotor laminate stack, wherein the inner press plate includes a T-shaped claw, wherein the outer press plate includes a socket which reciprocates the T-shaped claw, and wherein the T-shaped claw and the socket are configured to couple the inner press plate and the outer press plate.
