ABSTRACT:
A method of assembling an electric machine generally includes heating a housing to thermally expand the housing. The housing is allowed to cool and thermally contract against an end shield and a rotor assembly such that interference fits are formed between the housing and the end shield and between the housing and the rotor assembly.
