<p>A rotor for an interior magnet rotary machine, such as motors and generators, is mass produced by forming an elongated structure (15). This structure (15) has channels (16) in the periphery thereof which are parallel to the longitudinal axis (12) of the structure (15). The elongated structure (15) is cut into rotor frames (40) of a predetermined length having channels (16) extending from one end to the opposite end thereof. Magnets (17) are placed in the channels (16). Pole pieces (18) may be placed on the magnets (17) in the channels (16). The interior magnet rotary machine produced by this method has a rotor of a structure made of a rotor frame (40) with channels (16) extending from one end to the opposite end, and at least one magnet (17) in a respective one of the channels (16). Thus, an efficient, low cost, mass producible and easily assembled rotor for an interior magnet rotary machine is provided.</p> |
