Abstract
An electric machine is disclosed. The electric machine may include a rotor and an endplate. The endplate may define an aperture, an inner locknut surface and a balance-ring surface. The locknut surface may extend from a periphery of the aperture to a first diameter. The balance-ring surface may extend from a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter to an outer periphery of the endplate. Before assembly, the balance-ring surface may be adjacent to the rotor and the locknut surface may be spaced apart from the rotor.
