Motor and compressor

Abstract

A motor includes a rotor and a stator surrounding an outer circumferential side of the rotor. The rotor includes a rotor core, a plurality of magnets, a plurality of holes, a plurality of tightening members and a plurality of fluid passages. The rotor core has layered electromagnetic steel sheets with the magnets embedded in the rotor core along an axial direction and placed in a generally regular polygonal shape along a circumferential direction. The holes are formed axially through the rotor core. The holes are arranged radially inside vertices of the generally regular polygon shape formed by the magnets adjacent the vertices. The tightening members are inserted through at least parts of the holes to tighten the rotor core. The fluid passages are disposed between the holes of the rotor core and extend axially through the rotor core.
