Replaceable alternator rotor windings

Click For Summary
Interchanging rotor windings with different shaft lengths for a 3-phase alternator is not commonly known. Creating a through shaft for pulley attachment may require custom machining and winding. Threading the existing shaft and using extensions with sleeves is a potential solution, but it poses challenges in mounting the alternator. Maintaining belt tension with dual-sided belts could complicate the design further. Overall, custom solutions may be necessary to address these engineering challenges.

Has anyone ever heard of a rotor winding that can be interchanged with different shaft lengths? I'm trying to find a way to create a 3-phase alternator with a through shaft to attach pulleys on each end.

I sure haven't. Could you thread the existing shaft and connect extensions with sleeves?
 
probably have to custom machine it and then have it wound. any decent machine shop could produce it. how would you mount the alternator? this might be another problem. most alternators are the tension on belts attached to them dual sided belts would make keeping the tension problematic.

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
