    No full text
    The high-speed electric machines are gaining attention in several different applications, and the development of advanced materials, electronic components and control algorithms is pushing ahead the technological speed limits. In the electromagnetic sizing of high-speed machines the mechanical and thermal involvements are so tight to make necessary to deal with all the different aspects at the same time. The paper aims to summarize and discuss the electrical as well as the mechanical aspects involved in the high speed machine design, highlighting the main issues and the trade-offs that the designer has to consider. Furthermore the correlation between volume reduction and the speed increase, based on commercial high-frequency roto-stator units, is presented to
