Rotor for a motor

Abstract

To provide a rotor for a motor capable of effecting improved torque variation due to improvement in the induced voltage waveform and of effecting improved magnet torque in a permanent magnet type synchronous motor utilizing reluctance torque. A rotor 11 comprises a core 12 made of a ferromagnetic material, a given member of permanent magnets 14 are mounted in the outer surface of the core 12 circumferentially at equal intervals, and arrangement of the permanent magnets 14 is such that polarities N, S of the permanent magnets on the sides facing a stator are disposed alternately. Also, in the core 12 between the center axis of the core and the permanent magnets 14 are embedded arc-shaped permanent magnets 16 corresponding to the permanent magnets 14, respectively, and arrangement of the permanent magnets 14 is the same as that of the corresponding permanent magnets 16.
