A rotor (10) for an axial-flux electrical machine (12) is provided. The rotor (10) comprises an annular disc-shaped central frame (20) formed of a ferromagnetic material and having first and second opposing surfaces (26, 28). Each of the first and second opposing surface (26, 28) has shaped protrusions (40) extending therefrom. The rotor (10) further comprises a first and a second outer frame (22, 24) formed of a non-ferromagnetic, electrically conducting material. Each outer frame (22, 24) has an inner periphery portion (32) and an outer periphery portion (34) and a plurality of bars (36) galvanically connecting the inner and outer periphery portions (32, 34). Gap portions (38) are defined between adjacent bars (36) and the inner and outer periphery portions (32, 34). The gap portions (38) are shaped complementary to the shaped protrusions (40) of the central frame (20).

A rotor of an aircraft electric motor includes a shaft made of a first material, and a conductive assembly made of a second material different from the first material. The shaft includes a shoulder portion, the shoulder portion includes longitudinal notches. The notches include two contiguous notches radially superimposed in the shoulder portion, a first opening on a radially outer face of the shoulder portion, and a second opening connecting the two contiguous notches. The conductive assembly is a one-piece structure including a conductive bar that is positioned in one notch of the notches, and a skin that is fixed on the shoulder portion.

A cage rotor of an asynchronous machine includes radially closed or partially opened slot recesses. Arranged in the slot recesses are conductor bars which are fixed in the slot recesses by a metal foam. The slot recesses can be produced by punching individual sheet metals which are then stacked to form a laminated core. A short-circuit ring can be attached at one end face of the laminated core to contact the conductor bars.

A rotor of an electric machine is provided and includes first and second core elements formed to define annular arrays of axial slots and rotor bar openings, each axial slot being fluidly communicative with a corresponding one of the rotor bar openings and a spacer element interposed between the first and second core elements to define a rotor vent opening fluidly communicative with the axial slots.

A cage rotor for an electric machine may include a rotor core and an electrically conductive rotor cage arranged around the rotor core, wherein the rotor cage includes carbon nanotubes. An electric machine including such a cage rotor is also disclosed.
