    This is a permanent magnet motor or generator rotor. It uses a double stack of the popular sized ceramic magnets (1-7/8″ X 7/8″ X 3/8″) like these :https://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of-2-ceramic-block-magnets-97504.html for each of the 6 positions. There is a choice or either a rotor for a 8mm shaft or a 1/2″ shaft. Use #6 to 32 x 1/2″ bolts to attach the ends. Dimensions: 3.5″ diameter X 1.885″ length. Also added .25″ bearing stand-offs on both ends.
    .01″ added to spaces for magnets and bolt holes to compensate for shrinkage of material.
