A method and apparatus are provided for compression of a lamination stack (200) for a dynamoelectric machine. The apparatus includes a plurality of hanger brackets (810) attached to a face frame, a plurality of force application tubes (830) secured to the brackets, a plurality of force applying rams (840) located beneath the force application tubes, a plurality of pressing plates (500) located beneath the force applying rams, and a plurality of weight distribution plates (400) located beneath the pressing plates. A compressive force is applied to the lamination stack by the force applying rams via the pressing plates and weight distribution plates. |
