    Abstract: A rotor for connection to a stationary member for use in an electric machine is provided. The rotor includes a body defining a center of rotation of the body. The body further defines a first surface extending in a direction generally perpendicular to the center of rotation. The rotor also includes a magnet connected to the body and an adhesive. The adhesive is positioned between the magnet and the body. The adhesive is adapted to assist in securing the magnet to the body. The first surface of the body is adapted to permit removal of material from the body and to assist in balancing the rotor.

    Abstract: A rotor for an electric machine includes a circular rotor base having a first surface, a second surface, and a circumferential outer edge extending from the first surface to the second surface, a plurality of magnets disposed proximate the circumferential outer edge of the circular rotor base, and a plurality of flux guides. Each magnet has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface of each magnet is attached to the first surface of the circular rotor base, and the second surface of each magnet defines a first shape. Each flux guide is attached to the second surface of a different magnet and has a first surface attached to the second surface of a first respective magnet and a second surface opposite the first surface. The second surface of each flux guide defines a second shape different than the first shape of the magnets.
