Abstract

In a motor having a permanent magnet built in a rotor, a hole for preventing a short-circuit of magnetic flux is disposed so that the hole is adjacent to the outer rim of rotor core, and adjoins to a slit for receiving a permanent magnet as well as the permanent magnet per se. This structure prevents a short-circuit of magnetic flux generated by both ends of the permanent magnet, and the magnetic flux at both ends of the magnet can flow to a stator, thereby contributing to generate torque effectively. As a result, the highly efficient motor with less cogging torque, less vibration and lower noise can be provided.
