Abstract

A pair of positioning rings are engaged on the outer peripheral surface of a shaft, and a plurality of permanent magnets are provided on the outer surface of the shaft between the positioning rings. The permanent magnets are bonded to the shaft by a bonding agent which fills the spaces between the shaft and the permanent magnets, and an air gap is formed between the permanent magnets and the positioning rings, to allow thermal expansion.
