Abstract
An electric machine includes an outer housing and a stator secured to the outer housing and configured to induce an electromagnetic field. The electric machine also includes a rotor configured to output rotational movement in response to the electromagnetic field of the stator. The electric machine further includes at least one retention key configured to cooperate with a retention feature of the stator to engage a channel of the outer hosing to generate a circumferential force to resist movement of the stator relative to the housing.
