Abstract
An electric machine that allows enhancement of thrust of a mover is provided. An electric machine includes a magnetic pole piece array including a plurality of magnetic pole pieces spaced along a permanent magnet array. The magnetic pole pieces are disposed between the permanent magnet array and winding portions in immovable relation with the winding portions. The pitch of permanent magnets and the pitch of magnetic pole pieces are determined such that magnetic flux flows through two of the permanent magnets magnetized in the same direction and located in the permanent magnet array with one permanent magnet interposed between the two permanent magnets, and also flows through one of the magnetic pole pieces facing the one permanent magnet interposed between the two permanent magnets and magnetized in a direction of magnetization different from the direction of magnetization of the two permanent magnets.
