Claim 0:
1. A method of manufacturing for a radial flux electrical machine, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a stator body;
positioning an electrically conductive winding around a stator core to form each electromagnetic element;
inserting a protrusion of each electromagnetic element into a channel in an inner surface of the stator body to arrange the electromagnetic elements within an inner volume of the stator body, the channels extending in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the stator body;
connecting the electrically conductive winding to control circuitry;
positioning a rotor within the inner volume of the stator body, the rotor supported by a shaft which extends into the stator body from a drivetrain component exterior to a second longitudinal side of the stator body, and the shaft only supported by bearings of the drivetrain component positioned exterior to the second longitudinal side of the stator body;
positioning an enclosure exterior to a first longitudinal side of the stator body opposite the second longitudinal side of the stator body;
attaching a first portion of a locating member to an end on the rotor on the first longitudinal side of the stator body such that the first portion rotates with the rotor, the first portion comprising a magnet; and
positioning a second portion of the locating member on the enclosure exterior to the second longitudinal side of the stator body, the second portion comprising a sensor magnetically coupled to the magnet.
