Reproducing a rotor of ceiling fan

Recommended Posts

I finished replicating a ceiling fan rotor here, the original rotor was completely broken, the job was tough, but it's done in the end.  Just wanted to show you guys about this interesting job.

Very impressive! That looks like a factory-made rotor. 

Would you mind telling us about how the laminations were manufactured?

Material is silicon steel.
I use WEDM technology (Wirecut electric discharge machining) to cut them, with WEDM technology I can cut a set of about 100 sheets in one cut.

Was it wound by machine?

Dan winds his armatures by hand, using custom-built skeins. He is masterful at what he does. 🧑‍🔧🧰
