Abstract
A rotor assembly for an electric motor includes a shaft extending along and rotatable about an axis. The rotor assembly also includes a lamination stack coupled to the shaft, a plurality of magnets including a first magnet coupled to the lamination stack, and a plurality of pole pieces spaced radially outward from the shaft. Each pole piece of the plurality of pole pieces is separate from the lamination stack. The plurality of pole pieces includes a first pole piece, and the first and second magnets are disposed between the lamination stack and the first pole piece. The rotor assembly further includes a plurality of spacers including a first spacer disposed between the first pole piece and the lamination stack to reduce flux leakage of the first magnet.
