First Claim
Patent Images
1. A rotor for a superconductive rotary electric machine comprising:
- a shaft having longitudinal slots along the outer surface thereof and an end portion at each end with an annular recess therearound;
superconducting field coils in said slots and having circumferentially extending coil end portions in said recesses and spaced in the direction of the length of said shaft;
insulation filler filling the spaces in said recesses between adjacent coil end portions;
keeper sleeves shrink fitted around the end portions of said shaft; and
a laminated insulating cover between each keeper sleeve and the coil end portions and composed of a plurality of thin cylindrical layers adhered to each other, each of said layers being a thin sheet of a prefabricated single insulating material constituted by at least two insulating plates with the circumferentially facing edges abutting each other at points displaced circumferentially from joints in other layers, said keeper sleeves and cover tightly holding said coil end portions in said recess.
