Wafter Geometry

Wafter Number [F]: number of wafters at front end of rotor.

Wafter Number [R]: number of wafters at rear end of rotor.

Wafter Length:

Wafter axial length.

Wafter Depth Reduct:

Wafter depth reduction - this is used to specify the slope of the wafter side

Wafter Thickness: Wafter thickness - in circumferential direction.

For induction machines the wafters are placed on the endrings. BPM machines can also have wafters and the following parameters are used to specify the radial position of the wafters.

Wafter Add [Inner F] :

Wafter Add [Inner R] :

Wafter Add [Outer F] :

Wafter Add [Outer R] :
