Abstract
A method for assembling a permanent magnet ring on a rotor body for an electric motor or generator where the body has a higher coefficient of expansion than the permanent magnet ring includes the steps of sizing the internal diameter of the ring for the greatest thermal expansion of the rotor and introducing longitudinal grooves in the rotor surface uniformly spaced about its circumference to accommodate the expansion of the adhesive used to bond the ring to the rotor.
