Abstract
A laminated core 10 improves material yield and prevents cracks or breakages of core pieces by relaxing stress on connecting portions 13. A connected core segment 14 to be the laminated core 10 includes: a V-shaped cutout 17 located radially inward from the connecting portion 13, the cutout 17 opening in a radially inward direction with an opening angle of 360°/n given that n is a number of core segments 19; a slit 18 located radially outward from the connecting portion 13, the slit 18 dividing adjacent segment yokes 12 located radially outward from the connecting portion; a first through-hole 20 having a circular arc formed in a radially outward end of the cutout 17 in contact with the connecting portion 13; and a second through-hole 21 having a circular arc formed in a radially inward end of the slit 18 in contact with the connecting portion 13.
