Skew

1. Overview

SLOT – SKEW design area
1	Selection of the STATOR subset: SLOT panel (Click on the icon SLOT)
2	Skew tab indicates the tool to define the slot skew angle
3	Visualization of the machine radial view to visualize the slot skew
4	Visualization of the stator developed view to visualize the slot skew
5	Choices to define a skew: None – Continuous (Continuous in our example)
6	Skew inputs to be defined
7	Buttons to validate the inputs (Pressing the “enter key” twice applies inputs too).
8	Buttons to restore the default input values.
9	Skew outputs (read only)
10	Button to export the skew data into *.txt or *.xls files.

2. Set a skew angle

How to set a skew angle?
1	Choose the definition mode of the skew: Stator slot – Shift angle
2	Definition of the skew angle depending of the definition mode
3	Visualization of the chosen skew angle on the machine radial view
4	Visualization of the equivalent axial slot angle on the rotor developed view
5	Equivalent axial stator slot angle (read only)
6	Equivalent stator slot pitch (read only)

If a skew is already defined in the rotor when setting a skew on the stator, the rotor skewing will be automatically reset to “None”.
