An annular magnet assembly for a dynamoelectric machine includes a plurality of arcuate permanent magnets disposed in an annular array and a frame member of a non-magnetic material for rigidly connecting the magnets together. The magnets are disposed in end-to-end abutment to form the annular array, both ends of each magnet being cut to form a recess in the inner or outer peripheral surface of the annular array at the respective abutments of the magnets. The frame member comprises a pair of annular portions which tightly engage the opposite sides of the annular array and ledge portions extending through the recesses to connect the pair of annular portions together.

An annular magnet assembly adapted to be mounted on an annular or cylindrical surface of a dynamoelectric machine for producing a magnetic field therein, comprising a plurality of arcuate permanent magnets disposed in an end-to-end abutment to form an annular array, each of the permanent magnets having a first and a second major surface, the first surface being in engagement with the annular or cylindrical surface of the machine, both ends of each permanent magnet being cut to form a recess in the second major surface at the respective abutment of the magnets, said recess being disposed on opposite sides of the respective abutment of the magnets and extending axially across the axial width of said magnets, and a frame member of a non-magnetic material for rigidly connecting the magnets together, the frame member including a pair of annular portions which tightly engage the opposite sides of the annular array and ledge portions disposed in said recesses and extending axially across the width of said magnets to connect the pair of annular portions together and radially retain said magnets in said frame member.
