An assembly for use in an axial flux motor or generator includes a rotor plate and a magnet, the magnet having a surface that is orthogonal to a magnetization direction of the magnet. The rotor plate is adapted to engage a rotor shaft that rotates about an axis of rotation, and the magnet is attached to the rotor plate. The rotor plate and magnet are configured and arranged such that, if the rotor plate and the magnet are separated from all other magnetic field generating components, then a distance between a first plane that intercepts a first point on the surface and to which the axis of rotation is normal and a second plane that intercepts a second point on the surface and to which the axis of rotation is normal is substantially greater than zero.
