<p>A rotor (12) for an electric machine (10) includes a rotor disc (24) extending radially outwardly from a central axis (18) of the rotor (12) and a magnet retention band (30) including a plurality of magnet retention tabs (32). The magnet retention tabs (32) extend radially from the magnet retention band (30) and axially along a length of the magnet retention band (30). The magnet retention band (30) is secured to the rotor face (24) via a retention means and extends substantially axially therefrom. A plurality of permanent magnets (14), each permanent magnet (14) of the plurality of permanent magnets (14) are located at the magnet retention band (30) between adjacent magnet retention tabs (32) and are radially and circumferentially retained between the magnet retention tabs (32) and the magnet retention band (30).</p> |
