Attach plates (my design) to the stator core of the machine

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the assembly of a stator core (part number "1") made from laminated electrical steel, utilizing double-sided adhesive insulation tape (part number "2") and a plate (part number "3") also made of electrical steel. The assembly process involves applying part number 2 to the inner diameter of part number 1, followed by the placement of part number 3, which consists of multiple strips. Efficient assembly techniques are sought, particularly considering the potential for heat-induced movement of part number 3 due to eddy currents, necessitating the use of mineral cement and mechanical locking methods for stability and alignment.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrical steel properties and applications
  • Knowledge of adhesive types and their thermal performance
  • Familiarity with mechanical assembly techniques
  • Experience with alignment methods in engineering design
NEXT STEPS
  • Research mineral cement options suitable for high-temperature applications
  • Explore mechanical locking mechanisms for securing electrical components
  • Learn about the effects of eddy currents in electrical steel assemblies
  • Investigate alignment techniques for multi-part assemblies in electrical engineering
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and project managers involved in the design and assembly of electrical machines, particularly those focused on stator core construction and thermal management solutions.

I am working on an electrical engineering project. However, I have come across a specific mechanical engineering problem. I have attached an image to describe what I want to do. I have primarily a stator core (made out of electrical steel laminated sheets) named part number "1". I have a double-sided adhesive insulation tape named part number "2". Lastly, I have a sheet of electrical steel, which I call a plate, named part number "3". The part number 2 will be put on the inner diameter of part number 1. After that, part number 3 will be put on the inner diameter of part number 1, which already has the part number 2. The part number 3 is made up of multiple strips (as you can see in the figure). Can you guys tell me the most efficient and precise way of putting these parts together, like I described above? You are welcome to give the suggestions regarding techniques or the tools. You are welcome to ask any follow-up questions.

I expect it will take more than double-sided tape2 to stop plate3 moving on core1. Plate3 will get hot due to eddy currents. That makes organic adhesives questionable. Maybe you will need a mineral cement and some form of mechanical lock.

There would need to be some way to align the poles of core1 with the fingers of plate3. I assume the poles are equal in number. Plate3 would need to be made to collapse, then expand in diameter, so it could be inserted, then unrolled or expanded onto the inside of core1. That would require one cut, or a 'z' bend in each joiner between the sub-plates of plate3.
