Abstract: A connector for adjustably connecting an RVDT (rotary variable differential transformer) and a reductor shaft. The connector includes a body defining a bore configured to receive the reductor shaft. The bore has an inner wall and a threaded tightening member which is substantially parallel to a main axis (AA, BB) of the bore. A portion of the body is configured to deform upon tightening of the tightening member such that, when the reductor shaft is received by the bore, the reductor shaft is gripped by at least a portion of the inner wall.

Abstract: A rotor for an electrical machine comprises a rotor body having an external, axially extending magnet receiving surface for receiving at least one magnet thereon, and a flange mounting portion at at least one axial end of the magnet receiving surface. The flange mounting portion has a smaller external dimension (D1) than an external dimension (D2) of the magnet receiving surface so as to form a shoulder between the magnet receiving surface and the flange mounting portion. A magnet retaining flange is mounted over the flange mounting portion of the rotor body and located against the shoulder. The magnet retaining flange is retained against the shoulder by at least one lip of the flange mounting portion of the rotor body which extends radially outwardly over a radially inner portion of the magnet retaining flange. The lip by deforming an end face of the flange mounting portion.
