A rotor in an asynchronous electrical machine used in high speed applications, comprises an electrically conductive conductor surrounding a rotor shaft and located substantially adjacent to a stator of the asynchronous electrical machine, a coating layer made of a ferromagnetic particulate material having an electric conductivity substantially lower than that of the conductor, the coating layer being placed between the rotor shaft and the conductor and a metallic intermediate layer between the coating layer and rotor shaft, the metallic intermediate layer having yield point lower than that of the coating layer and the rotor shaft.

Rotor construction in an asynchronous electric machine

The invention relates to an asynchronous electric machine, wherein a rotor rotating relative to a stator is provided with an electrically conductible coating. An air gap (.delta.) between the rotor and the stator is designed according to the following formula ##EQU1## in which D.sub.r =outer rotor diameter (mm),
