Flat Plate Axial Mill Coil Winder
« on: June 11, 2008, 09:07:18 PM »
Finally got the coil winder cut & put together. There have been some really late nights this week trying to keep up with customers jobs & my projects.

I will be making several mills for myself & several for friends & family so I went ahead and built a coil winder with a spool tensioner a wire tensioner & a counter so I can't get lost.

Below is the test coil I wound this afternoon 36 turns of 11 ga. square magnet wire heavy build enamel with single glass wrap.

I now have the stator mount on the spindle and hope to get test coil mounted on some plywood so I can place it in between the rotors and test the voltage. It is already 5:00 in the afternoon so I probabally won't get it done Today!

I picked up a buch of those counters from Wholsale Tool for another project & still had some left. They were about $6.00 ea. a year or so ago. Wholsale Tool has a website you can order from I ordered mine out of the catalog by phone.

hey i like the nice tight shape of the finished coils!


with the double insulation and glass wrap, should take a bunch of heat as well

Golly,

Square, enamelled, glassed, 11 gauge magnet wire!  You recycled that out of a UFO didn't you?

Seriously where did you get it?

Steven,


Took me awhile to find it! It came from Swiger Coil Systems Inc. They are on the Web at swigercoil.com . The gentleman I spoke with was Bruce Gall He was very helpfull. It wasn't cheap $14.00 a Lb. I bought 10 Lbs.


MWS wire & Essex Browwnell carry it as well but They only wan't to sell 250 Lbs. at a time!


Swiger Coil also custom winds all kinds of coils including coils for wind turbines! Once I get the first stator completed I may send them the specs on the finish product & have them give me a quote on winding the complete Stator for future mills.


I have really enjoyed learning the process of winding coils for my own stator & thanks to help from Flux & others I can now do it but that doesn't mean that is where my time is best spent!
