Flexible Stator Core Mounting(Model series 2800 and larger)
For each complete revolution of the rotor,every portion of the stator is twicesubjected to the strong magnetic attractionof a rotor field pole. At 3,600 rpm thiscauses 120 vibrations per second,producing a characteristic low frequencyhum. To absorb this vibration, and tominimize audible low frequency hum, thestator core is flexibly mounted. The flexiblecore mounting design is based on the thincylinder principle, which recognizes thatcylinders can provide flexibility in the radialdirection and still support heavy loads ina tangential direction. The cylindricalmountings are sectioned to provide supportat each end of the stator and in the centerof the core. The core supports are fastenedto the ends of the cylinders with steelplates. Fame plates connect the oppositeend of each cylinder to the foot plate. Thepulsation of the core is absorbed by thecylinders rather than being transmitted tothe foundation.

Stator frame center fabrication.
Stator CoreThe stator core consists of high siliconelectrical steel laminations that are blankedand notched simultaneously for specialhigh quality core plated sheet steel. Afterthe punching operation, each lamination isprecision edge ground to remove burrs.The burr grinding process is controlled soaccurately that the burr is removed withoutdestroying the core plated insulation film.The lamination segments are stacked oncircular studs, which extend lengthwisewithin the stator frame. As the stator corelaminations are stacked, vent duct spacersare inserted at specific intervals to providecooling passages in the stator core foruniform cooling. Special care is taken toassure accurate slot alignment over thelength of the core.

Accurate clamping pressure is applied to both ends of the stator core through non-magnetic pressure plates. These plates and the tooth support fingers have a special concave design. When properly pressurized, they will exert a uniform pressure on the face of the stator core teeth as well as the back of the stator core.
End StacksThe end sections of the stator core are stepped back from the air gap to minimize fringing flux and to reduce end iron heating when the machine is operated outside of the normal power factor range.
