Abstract

A permanent magnet rotor having a unitary aluminum casting surrounding magnets mounted on the shaft which has favorable heat transfer, performance, and cost characteristics, and which may be constructed by the accompanying method. Spacers and rings surrounding the permanent magnets are eliminated by the aluminum casting. Pockets for the permanent magnets are cast into the aluminum. A non-magnetic outer sleeve overlies the shaft, magnets and aluminum layer.
