Abstract
A method includes forming elongated magnetic flux carrier portions in magnetically conductive sheets by cutting elongated magnetic flux barriers including one or more relief features into the magnetically conductive sheets, such that the magnetic flux barriers are separated from each other in radial directions of the magnetically conductive sheets. The method includes inserting or forming non-magnetic posts into the magnetic flux barriers such that each of the non-magnetic posts is elongated in a different radial direction of the radial directions from a first magnetic flux carrier portion to a second magnetic flux carrier portion of the magnetic flux carrier portions on opposite sides of at least one magnetic flux barrier; and forming at least part of a rotor for an electric machine assembly using the magnetically conductive sheets having the magnetic flux carrier portions, the non-magnetic posts, and the magnetic flux barriers.
