Abstract
A rotor assembly includes a flux ring comprising a generally cylindrical ring of magnetic flux conducting material. A plurality of circumferentially spaced reinforcing ribs are fastened to the ring, each of the ribs projecting radially outward of the ring and extending axially for substantially the length thereof. A separate body of magnetic material is fastened to the ring between each adjacent pair of ribs. A method of manufacturing the flux ring is implemented by first providing a substantially flat sheet of magnetic flux conducting material. The sheet is bent to form a plurality of reinforcing ribs thereon, and subsequently rolled to form a cylinder with the ribs projecting radially outwardly thereof.
