Abstract
Grooves are formed in the pole faces of a multi-pole rotor body. Spacers are provided for insertion into the grooves and have radial outward projections for engaging between shield segments and enclosure rings. By providing spacers with variable width projections, the axial gap between adjacent enclosure rings and shield segments is adjusted to adjust the ventilation flow from within the rotor body.
