Direct-current axial air gap motors are often referred to as disc motors and there are basically two types. The first and most common type is the printed-circuit motor .... The second is the wound-rotor type disc motor; Fig. 10.11 shows a typical cross-section of such a motor. 1, record 3, English, - wound%2Drotor%20type%20disc%20motor

for "disc wound motor": In the disc wound motor, the armature coils are wound into a flat disc, which is stiffened by reinforcing it with a thermosetting epoxy resin. The rotor coils are wound on to a frame to the correct number of turns, the frame is then removed, and the coils hot pressed form a disc. 1, record 3, English, - wound%2Drotor%20type%20disc%20motor

Wound-rotor a.c. induction motors are also applied successfully in some instances, usually below 200 kW, but they tend to have control difficulties at low creep speeds, which is limited by their acceptance and dissipation of the slip energy. 1, record 4, English, - wound%2Drotor%20a%2E%20c%2E%20induction%20motor
