WINDING METHOD OF ROTARY ELECTRIC MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a winding method which can attain a higher packing factor. SOLUTION: Guide members 9 arranged on the opposite sides of a pole core 2 in the axial direction are formed tubularly wherein its outer surface is located closer to the yoke side than the outer circumferential surface of a flange 2b, and the gap between the axial end face of the guide member 9 and the axial end face of the flange 2b is set smaller than the diameter of a wire 8. Consequently, when a nozzle 11 moves in the circumferential direction on the opposite sides of the pole core 2 in the axial direction, the wire 8 fed out from the nozzle 11 is wound along the outer circumferential surface of the guide member 9 and thereby the wire 8 is prevented from interfering with the axial end of the flange 2b and prevented from riding on the flange 2b. Even when more wire 8 is wound, the wire 8 can be protected against damage and since the wire 8 can be prevented from being shifted to the inner circumferential side (flange 2b side) of the pole core 2 when it is wound, a higher packing factor can be attained.
