Rotor for an axial flux machine, method for producing a rotor for an axial flux machine and axial flux machine

A method for producing a rotor for an electrical axial flux machine that is operable as at least one of a motor or generator, comprising the following method steps:

• providing a support;
• providing magnet elements and introducing the magnet elements against, on, or in the support;
• providing flux conduction elements and introducing the flux conduction elements against, on, or in the support;
• and
• providing flux distributing elements and introducing the flux distributing elements against, on, or in the support;
• wherein the flux distributing elements have a triangular cross-section as seen in a sectional plane perpendicular to a rotor rotation axis, the triangular cross-section rests with a base side thereof against an adjacent one of the magnet element, and is in contact with adjacently arranged ones of the flux conduction elements with two remaining leg sides of the triangular cross-section.

A rotor for an electrical axial flux machine that is operable as at least one of a motor or generator, said rotor comprising:

• a support;
• a plurality of magnet elements arranged against, on, or in the support and running substantially radially from an interior of the support outwards, the magnet elements being magnetized in a circumferential direction and being arranged individually or in groups in series around a circumference of the support with alternating opposing magnetization directions;
• a plurality of flux conduction elements which conduct magnetic flux and are arranged against, on, or in the support and around the circumference, between the magnet elements;
• and
• a plurality of flux distributing elements which distribute the magnetic flux with soft magnetic composite material, wherein one of the plurality of flux distributing elements is arranged between at least one of the magnet elements and one said flux conduction element and arranged adjacently thereto in the circumferential direction;
• wherein each said flux distributing element has a triangular cross-section as seen in a sectional plane perpendicular to a rotor rotation axis, each said triangular cross-section rests with a short base side thereof against a support outer ring of the support, and rests with one remaining leg side thereof against one of the magnet elements and rests with an other remaining leg side thereof against an adjacently arranged one of the flux conduction elements.
