ROTOR LAMINATION ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF FORMING A ROTOR LAMINATION ASSEMBLY

摘要

An electric machine (2) includes a stator (6), and a rotor lamination assembly (16) configured and disposed to rotate relative to the stator (6). The rotor lamination assembly (16) includes at least one lamination member (20) including a body member (40) having an outer diametric edge (44), and at least one magnet receiving member (52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67). The at least one magnet receiving member (52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67) includes a first end (94) that extends to a second end (95). The second end (95) establishes an interruption zone (100) in the outer diametric edge (44).
