ELECTRIC MOTOR AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAID MOTOR
The present invention relates to an electric motor comprising a stator assembly and a rotor assembly rotatable about a rotor axis. The rotor assembly includes a rotor core having a laminated structure defined by a plurality of sheets made of magnetic material, and a plurality of seats configured to receive respective permanent magnets. The rotor assembly further includes at least an end plate arranged so as to cover an end surface of the rotor core and the plurality of seats in the axial direction. In particular, the end plate is made of magnetic material and it comprises a plurality of flux barrier slits configured so as to be prevalently transversal to the portions of the magnetic flux lines to which they are superimposed when seen along the axial direction.
