Abstract

A two pole permanent magnet rotor utilizes a single cylindrical two pole permanet magnet mounted between two end pieces and surrounded by a retaining hoop. The cylindrical two pole permanent magnet, which is made of high energy product material, is "straight through" diametrically magnetized to provide a sinusoidal air gap flux distribution which eliminates losses due to harmonics. The cylindrical two pole permanent magnet may be made of a plurality of smaller magnet blocks which are stacked and machined to form a cylindrical configuration.
