Patent ID: 7567009

Claim:
A stator arrangement for an electric machine having a stator body ( 10 ) which has a back yoke ring ( 12 ) and a number of stator teeth ( 14 ) that project in a radial direction from the back yoke ring ( 12 ), wherein at least one additional ferromagnetic stator end lamination ( 16 ) is mounted on at least one end face of the back yoke ring ( 12 ), the additional ferromagnetic stator end lamination ( 16 ) being substantially flush with the back yoke ring ( 12 ), wherein projections ( 24 ) are formed at the inner or outer circumference of the additional stator end lamination ( 16 ), the projections ( 24 ) projecting axially from the outer end face of the stator end lamination and forming a guide for the winding wire, wherein the additional stator end lamination ( 16 ) does not cover or does not fully cover the area of the stator teeth and carries a part of the magnetic flux through the stator when the machine is in operation so that the magnetic saturation of the stator body ( 10 ) in the area of the back yoke ring ( 12 ) is reduced.
