A rotor assembly is comprised of a rotor core and at least one magnet. The rotor core has a support protrusion projecting radially outwardly from the core exterior surface. The at least one magnet is positioned on the support protrusion and is supported in a radially outward spaced relation from the core exterior surface. The radially outward spacing defines a radial spacing between the core exterior surface and the at least one magnet. A connection is located in the radial spacing and holds the at least one magnet to the core exterior surface. A method of assembling the rotor core assembly comprises the steps of providing the rotor core with a support protrusion projecting radially outwardly from the core exterior surface. Providing at least one magnet. Positioning the at least one magnet on the support protrusion so that the at least one magnet is supported in a radially outward spaced relation from the core exterior surface and defines a radial spacing between the at least one magnet and the core exterior surface, and providing a connection in the radial spacing that holds the at least one magnet to the core exterior surface.
