Abstract

A rotor (32) is constructed by arranging unitary rotor elements (34a, 34b) in a longitudinal direction thereof, and has a structure such that the angular position of each group of elements is shifted by an angle corresponding to a half wave of a slot ripple caused by the rotor in the prior art. Because the difference between the angular positions is generally small, and the rotor must be exactly constructed, rotor core elements (36a) and permanent magnet elements (38a) of each unitary rotor element (34a, 34b) are shifted in the longitudinal direction of the rotor (32) to form projections and recesses (54, 56) at the ends of each unitary rotor element (34a, 34b), and the ends of each unitary rotor element are held exactly in position by metal end plates (42a, 42b, 44a, 44b), formed by a mechanical press, having recessed portions (48) and projecting portions (46) which engage with the projections and recesses.
