OPTIMIZED STATOR TOOTH TIP FOR A MOTOR WITH AXIALLY INSERTED STATOR WINDINGS

摘要

An electric motor includes a rotor and a stator assembly concentrically located about the rotor. The stator assembly includes a stator stack and a plurality of spaced apart stator teeth extending radially from the stator stack. The plurality of stator teeth defines a plurality of stator slots. Each stator tooth defines a stator tooth tip. The stator tooth tips are shaped to reduce the magnetic flux generated by the stator assembly during operation of the electric motor
