Machines utilizing heavy rare earth free permanent magnets

Patent ·
OSTI ID:2293900
Various examples are provided related to machines utilizing heavy rare earth (HRE) free permanent magnets. In one example, a rotor assembly including a rotor core having a plurality of rotor slots and magnets positioned within the plurality of rotor slots. At least a portion of the magnets are free of heavy rare earth (HRE) elements. The magnets can include a combination HRE segments and HRE-free segments or can be free of HRE elements. The rotor assembly can be included in an electric machine such as, e.g., a permanent magnet (PM) machine.
