Abstract
An apparatus for mounting a magnet to a rotor or stator of an electric machine includes a mounting element having a second mounting surface, wherein the mounting element is arranged to magnetically interact with the magnet to allow a magnetic force to magnetically attach the magnet to the second mounting surface; means for moving the mounting element having the magnet magnetically attached to the second mounting surface to a predetermined distance from a first mounting surface of the rotor or stator; and means for moving the mounting element away from the first mounting surface when the mounting element is at the predetermined distance from the first mounting surface. The apparatus further includes means for varying the flux density between the mounting element and the magnet.
