Lamella for introducing a slot-closure element into a slot in a stator of an electric machine, and apparatus and method for introducing slot-closure elements into a respectively associated stator slot

Abstract

The invention relates to a lamella (10) for introducing a slot-closing element (3) into a slot (7) in a stator (4) of an electric machine (5), wherein the lamella (10) is of elongate design and - as seen in the main direction of extent (H) - has a connecting end (10.1) and an insertion end (10.2), wherein on a first side, which faces the connecting end (10.1), the lamella (10) has a receiving portion (A) for receiving the slot-closing element (3) and on a second side, which faces the insertion end (10.2), it has a guide portion (F), wherein the guide portion (F) has a protrusion (12) which extends perpendicularly in relation to the main direction of extent (H), is formed along a first transverse direction (Q1) and is intended for guiding the lamella (10) when the slot-closing element (3) is being introduced into an associated stator slot (7).
