The wedge retaining portions (134) include opposed surface portions arranged so as to define therebetween a slot for accommodating the core (120) when the shaft end portions (117, 119) are assembled so that the core (120) and shaft end portions (117, 119) form a rotor subassembly. An outer containment (114) is shrink fitted on the rotor subassembly. A tongue and groove connection (38a, 39) is provided between the respective retaining wedge portions (134) and associated shaft end portions (117, 119) so as to interlock the two end shaft portions (117, 119) together.
