Abstract:
A permanent magnet electric machine (PM machine) for a vehicle or other system includes a rotor assembly, fixed permanent magnets, a stator, an actuator, and one or more repositionable/moveable flux-shunting elements. The flux-shunting element is repositioned to control flux at specific operating points of the PM machine. The rotor assembly has a rotor coaxially surrounding and coupled to a rotor shaft. The permanent magnets are mounted to or in the rotor, and the moveable flux-shunting element is positioned between the rotor shaft and a respective one of the permanent magnets. Inboard and outboard ends of each respective permanent magnet may be oriented toward the rotor shaft and stator, respectively. The actuator selectively positions the moveable flux-shunting element at one or more operating points of the PM machine to vary reluctance in a magnetic circuit formed by the stator and rotor assembly.

Claim (Index 8):
The PM machine of  claim 1 , wherein the rotor is segmented into alternating first and second rotor segments, with the moveable flux-shunting element having alternating first and second flux-shunting segments of different geometries or shapes, and wherein translation of the moveable flux-shunting element in one axial direction aligns the first and second flux-shunting segments with the first and second rotor segments, respectively, and translation of the moveable flux-shunting element in another axial direction aligns the first and second flux-shunting segments with the second and first rotor segments, respectively.
