    Abstract: An electric machine includes a stator core and a hairpin winding. The stator core defines slots that are circumferentially arranged between an inner diameter and an outer diameter of the stator core. Each slot has a plurality of pin positions that is arranged in a direction that extends from the inner diameter toward the outer diameter. The hairpin winding has a plurality of electrical paths of interconnected hairpins disposed within the slots. Each of the plurality of electrical paths of interconnected hairpins has a plurality of typical hairpins and an atypical hairpin. Each typical hairpin has a crown pitch of eight, nine, or ten, slots and opposing outwardly extending twist pitches along each end of the typical hairpin of four and one half slots. Each atypical hairpin, has an outwardly extending twist pitch and an inwardly extending twist pitch on opposing respective ends of the atypical hairpin.

    Abstract: An electric machine includes a stator and a rotor. The stator defines a central orifice and has an inner diameter. The rotor has an outer diameter and is disposed within the stator. An airgap is defined between inner diameter and the outer diameter. The rotor defines a plurality of cavities. The rotor has magnets disposed within each of the cavities. The magnets define a plurality of pole arc angles. Each pole arc angle is centered about a D-axis. The rotor has an outer periphery. The outer periphery forms smooth spline curves positioned within each pole arc angle. The smooth spline curves deviate radially inward relative to the outer diameter.
