Abstract
A method for manufacturing for an electrical machine includes: stacking a plurality of rotor laminations to form an axial rotor segment, the rotor segment formed of at least two laminations, each lamination having a plurality of openings therein, the openings forming a plurality of rotor poles in the rotor segment, each pole having a plurality of passages formed from the openings; rotating the rotor segment to place a first pole of the plurality of poles in an alignment position; injecting into the passages of the first pole a polymer bonded permanent magnet (PBM) material in molten form, wherein the (PBM) material includes magnetic particles suspended within a polymeric matrix; subjecting the first pole to a desired magnetic field to align the magnetic particles into a desired orientation prior to solidification of the (PBM) material; and solidifying the (PBM) material to form permanent magnets within the passages of the first pole.
