<p>A novel electric motor rotor has a plurality of laminate discs (20) having a central aperture (22) and a plurality of slots (30) therein for acceptance of a plurality of electrically conductive bars (50). The slots (30) have a radially outwardly extending tab (34) protruding from a radially inner surface for positioning the conductive bars (50). Additionally, the slots (30) have a radially outer surface (40) having a pair of radiused sections (42) for bearing the centrifugal force of the conductive bars (50) as the rotor (10) spins, and a relieved bridge section (44) enhanced electromagnetic properties.</p> |
