Abstract
An electric machine may include a substantially annular stator stack having a plurality of laminations which include mounting ears. A fraction of the laminations may be oriented such that the mounting ears are angularly offset from the others. The stator may be secured to a housing at both mounting ear locations thus improving structural rigidity and enhancing performance.
