Rotary electric machine and vehicle equipped with rotary electric machine

A rotary electric machine comprising:

• an annular stator including a stator core and coils disposed in the stator core;
• and
• an annular rotor disposed inside the stator and opposite to an inner circumferential wall of the stator with a gap present therebetween, the rotor including a rotor core having a plurality of receiving holes for magnetic material members, which receiving holes extend in an axial direction of a drive shaft and are arranged in a circumferential direction of the rotor core,
• wherein the rotor includes a plurality of protrusions provided in each of the plurality of receiving holes, the protrusions jutting out from an inner wall of the receiving hole to hold a corresponding magnetic material member,
• wherein each of the magnetic material members comprises a hard magnetic material member and a soft magnetic material member, which are stacked one on another in a magnetization direction,
• wherein the soft magnetic material member is disposed to border the inner wall of the receiving hole at positions where the protrusions are provided, and
• wherein the soft magnetic material member has a thickness greater than a thickness of each of the protrusions in the direction of magnetization.
