Notes
- The bobbin has a hollow Ø10 core (0.5 mm wall) 8 mm long, closed by two Ø13 × 0.8 mm flanges.
- A 1.2 mm slot across one flange lets the start of the winding out.
- The winding window is 1.5 mm deep (Ø10 to Ø13) and 6.4 mm long between the flanges.
- The Ø13 flanges slide into the Ø13 pockets of the axial-flux stator.

Questions
What is the winding space on the bobbin?
1.5 mm radially (Ø10 core to Ø13 flange) by 6.4 mm between the flanges.
Does the bobbin fit the stator?
Yes: its Ø13 flanges match the Ø13 coil pockets (slide, see Mating features).
