Roll up stator development for 56 frame PM synchronous motor

The paper reports on a project which sought to implement a version of the segmented stator concept on the 56 Frame permanent magnet synchronous motor platform. The motivation behind the project was to increase the slot fill, improve material usage, and reduce motor manufacturing cost. In fact, the new product not only met initial expectations, it challenged the engineering, manufacturing, and product development teams to rethink and redesign the entire product and how it is manufactured.
