Abstract

A pair of winding forms for mounting on opposite sides of a pole piece of a stator core on which coils are to be wound are held on a stator core by a tongue and groove arrangement formed on the winding forms and by a releasable locking pin that retains the tongue in the groove. Stops surfaces on the winding forms engageable with the stator core prevent the winding form assembly from rotatably rocking during the winding of a coil onto the pole piece. Other surfaces on the winding forms are positioned to engage the stator core to prevent the winding forms from moving radially toward the center axis of the stator. A method is provided for assembling the winding forms on a stator core and removing the winding forms from the stator core using a standard winding form handling mechanism and air actuators for moving the locking pin.
