Abstract:

A commutator alignment fixture includes a cylindrical bore having a plurality of axial circumferentially spaced blades extending inward from a side wall thereof. The circumferential spacing of the blades is determined according to the circumferential spacing of longitudinally extending, circumferentially spaced slots in a commutator wherein the alignment fixture blades coact with the commutator slot to axially slidably support the commutator in known circumferential orientation to the armature winding and core location when the commutator assembly is press-fit onto an armature shaft so that the commutator slots are in circumferential orientation with respect to the slots on the armature.
