20090127967 | METHODS FOR FABRICATING A WEDGE SYSTEM FOR AN ELECTRIC MACHINE - A method for assembling an electric machine is provided. The method includes providing a rotor having a cavity formed therein. At least one contoured recess is formed in a portion of the cavity. A wedge is inserted into the cavity. The wedge includes at least one contoured protrusion that is configured to mirror the at least one contoured recess of the cavity. The wedge is inserted such that the at least one contoured protrusion is positioned within the at least one contoured recess to facilitate positioning the wedge within the cavity. The at least one contoured protrusion and the at least one contoured recess are shaped to facilitate minimizing stresses within the rotor and the wedge. | 05-21-2009 |
20100295407 | APPARATUS FOR GENERATOR STATOR MOUNTING - In one embodiment, a system includes a generator frame that includes a spring ring configured to mount removably between an outer annular support and a stator. The spring ring includes a first guide configured to circumferentially align the spring ring to the outer annular support, and a second guide configured to circumferentially align the spring ring to the stator. | 11-25-2010 |
20110210643 | STATOR CORE SUSPENSION SYSTEM USING SPRING BAR IN PLANE EXTENDING PERPENDICULAR TO STATOR CORE AXIS - A stator core suspension system includes a spring bar(s) coupled to a stator core and a frame for vibrationally isolating the stator core from the frame. A longitudinal axis of the spring bar is positioned in a plane extending substantially perpendicular to an axis of the stator core. The stator core suspension system can be arranged in modular suspension sections for selective assembly into a related dynamoelectric machine. | 09-01-2011 |
20120104760 | DYNAMOELECTRIC MACHINE SUPPORT SYSTEM - A support system for a dynamoelectric machine is disclosed. In one embodiment, the support system includes: a mounting pad having a first face and a second face, the second face including a pair of slots; a pair of spring bars welded or brazed to the mounting pad at the pair of slots; a collar welded or brazed to the first face of the mounting pad; and a key bar between and affixed to the pair of spring bars. | 05-03-2012 |
20140367971 | DYNAMOELECTRIC MACHINE SUPPORT SYSTEM HAVING BOLTED SPRINGBAR - A support system for a dynamoelectric machine is disclosed. In one embodiment, the support system includes: a mounting pad having a first face and a second face, the second face including a pair of slots; a pair of spring bars bolted to the mounting pad at the pair of slots; a collar welded or brazed to the first face of the mounting pad; and a key bar between and affixed to the pair of spring bars. | 12-18-2014 |
