Abstract
A rotor assembly for an electric motor includes a rotor core, a plurality of magnets, and a rotor core mold member. The rotor core defines a rotor bore and a plurality of cavities distributed about the rotor bore and extending through the rotor core. The plurality of magnets are disposed in the plurality of cavities. The rotor core mold member extends through the plurality of cavities to retain the plurality of magnets therein and, from the cavities, extends to a first end of the rotor core forming a containment ring at the first end. The containment ring forms a rim above a surface of the first end to restrict flow of a fluid to an outer side surface of the rotor core.
