Abstract
A rotor for a reluctance machine comprises a rotor made up of a stack of laminations defining a cross-sectionally integral rotor profile consisting of rotor poles arranged about a rotor core. A non-magnetic insert is arranged axially along the stack of laminations and a filler spans the interpole region between rotor poles. The filler is attached at either end of the rotor to an end cap and is secured to the insert intermediate the rotor ends. The insert provides a means of securement for the filler to provide stability at high speed.
