Claim 0:
1. A rotary electric machine, comprising:
a brushless electric ring motor having an inner rotor disposed within an outer stator and arranged to rotate therein on a guide element;
wherein the rotor is an annular device having a plurality of ferritic elements arranged on an outer surface thereof;
wherein the stator is an annular device having a plurality of electro-magnetic elements arranged on an inner portion between a first flange and a second flange;
wherein each of the first and second flanges is an annular ring that is fabricated from a non-magnetic material and has a plurality of radially-oriented, inwardly-projecting ferromagnetic elements;
wherein the plurality of radially-oriented, inwardly-projecting ferromagnetic elements are coupled to corresponding ones of the electro-magnetic elements;
wherein the plurality of radially-oriented, inwardly-projecting ferromagnetic elements are arranged to exert a magnetic force on the plurality of ferritic elements when the plurality of electro-magnetic elements are electrically activated; and
wherein the guide element for the rotor is disposed between the first flange and the second flange of the stator.
