ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment, the present invention provides a rotor assembly. The exemplary rotor assembly includes a plurality of rotor laminations, which cooperate to form a rotor core, capped at each end by end members. Extending through the rotor core and the end members, a plurality of rotor channels is configured to receive electrically conductive members therethrough. Each of the electrically conductive members has external portions, which extend beyond the rotor channel, and an interior portion that is housed within the rotor channel. By flexing the external portions, a compression force that secures the laminations and the end members with respect to one another may be provided. Advantageously, the external portions may be fused to one another and/or to the end members. As one example, the external portions may be fused through the introduction of a molten metal into the end member. Advantageously, fusing of the external portions to the end members and/or one another increases the mechanical integrity of the rotor and provides for good electrical communicativeness between the conductive members, for example.
