ELECTRIC MACHINE AND ASSOCIATED METHOD

摘要

A method for fabricating a rotor for an electric motor is provided. The method includes the steps of fabricating a first set of rotor parts for use in a motor having a first frame size and fabricating a second set of rotor parts for use in a motor having a second frame size. The second frame size is substantially different from the first frame size. The method further includes the steps of fabricating a third set of rotor parts for use in the motor having the first frame size and for use in the motor having the second frame size, ascertaining the desired motor frame size, and selecting one of the first set of rotor parts and the second set of rotor parts in accordance with desired motor frame size. The method also includes the steps of selecting the third set of rotor parts and assembling a rotor with one of the first set of rotor parts and the second set of rotor parts and with the third set of rotor parts, such that a rotor for use with the desired motor frame size is substantially provided.
