Abstract

A rotor assembly for an electromechanical transducer is provided. The rotor assembly comprises a mechanical support structure and a magnet arrangement having a first magnetic component part and a second magnetic component part. The first magnetic component part and the second magnetic component part are attached to the mechanical support structure and are arranged along an axial direction (Z) of the rotor assembly. With respect to the axial direction a first cross section of the first magnetic component part has a first shape and a second cross section of the second magnetic component part has a second shape being different from the first shape. It is further described an electromechanical transducer and a wind turbine, which are both equipped with such a rotor assembly.
