  • the composition 23 is a nanocomposite.
  • nanocomposite a material with at least two components, in which one of the component materials has particles of nanometric size, is intended.

  • a special nanoclay deriving from a highly purified natural montmorillonite is used.
  • This type of nanoclay has a lamellar structure.
  • the nanoclay Before being added to the liquid resin, the nanoclay is preferably treated with quaternary amines to give rise to chemical groups bonding with the polymeric chains and uniformly dispersed between the nanoclay lamellas. In this way, the mixture of the liquid resin and nanoclay generates a nanocomposite in which the nanoclay is substantially dispersed in liquid resin in a uniform manner.
  • the liquid resin modified with nanoclay can assume two different types of morphology: an exfoliative morphology and an intercalary morphology.

  • a second variant provides for the placing of at least two stator bars 6 and at least a third spacer 17c between the first spacer 17a and the second spacer 17b.
  • Figure 3 also shows two binding elements 20b, each of which runs several times along a winding path defined by an axial section 34 inside a third hole 18c of the third spacer 17c, in between spacer 17a and spacer 17b, and an axial section 35 that extends on the inner side of the head 7 of the stator 3 in contact with a respective binding element 20a.
  • binding elements 20a and 20b run only once along the respective winding paths for reasons of clarity. It is understood that each binding element 20a or 20b can run any number of times along the winding path.
  • binding elements 20a contribute to the anchorage of the stator bars 6 between spacer 17a and spacer 17b, while binding elements 20b contribute to the anchorage of the binding elements 20a through blockage around spacer 17c.

  • Figure 4 only three windings of the binding element 20a around the stator bar 6a and around the stator bars 6a and 6b are shown for simplicity and clarity, it being possible of course to have any number of windings .
  • a variant, not shown, of this application contemplates using more than one binding element 20c for anchoring the two adjacent stator bars 6a and 6b.
  • the present invention has the following advantages.
  • the binding element 20 according to the present invention has greater mechanical resistance to breakage and therefore the onset of cracks in the composition 23 of the binding element 20 decreases significantly with evident advantages from the viewpoint of reliability.
  • the greater mechanical resistance to breakage is mainly due to an increase in the elastic properties of the composition 23 of the binding element 20.
  • the binding element 20 according to the present invention exhibits increased dielectric strength in the composition 23 thanks to the nanoclay additive.
  • the nanocharges present in the composition 23 cause a barrier effect against phenomena of onset and propagation of partial discharges .
  • the binding element 20 is characterized by smaller dimensions with respect to traditionally-used binding elements as the quantity of composition 23 utilized can be reduced to a minimum. This results in a reduction in dimensions of the electric machine 1 due to the presence of the binding elements 20, with evident advantages for the ventilation of the stator bars 6.
