Annular element for electric machine, has ring segments forming retaining ring to support magnet of electric machine, where ring segments are connected together by magnet received in retainers of ring segments

摘要

The element (10) has two ring segments (16) forming a retaining ring (12) to support a magnet (14) i.e. permanent magnet, of an electric machine. The ring segments are connected together by the magnet. The magnet is received in retainers of the ring segments, where the retainers are arranged in a region-wise, mutual overlap manner. The ring segments are arranged along axial direction of the retaining ring. Positive connectors are arranged along radial direction at joints (24) of the neighboring ring segments. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing an annular element of an electric machine.
