Skew

1. Overview

BAR – SKEW design area
1	Selection of the ROTOR subset: BAR panel (Click on the icon BAR)
2	SKEW tab indicates the tools to define the bar skew angle
3	Visualization of the motor radial view with bar topology and dimensions.
4	Visualization of the rotor developed view to visualize the bar skew
5	Choices to define a skew: None – Continuous (Continuous in our example)
6	Skew inputs to be defined
7	Buttons to restore the default input values (Pressing the “enter key” twice applies inputs too).
8	Buttons to validate the inputs (Pressing the “enter key” twice applies inputs too).
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 – Rotor 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 rotor slot angle (read only)
6	Equivalent stator slot pitch (read only)
7	Equivalent rotor slot pitch (read only)

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