Abstract: A stable-quality rotary electric machine system in which one or more rotary electric machine characteristics are normalized from various viewpoints. The rotary electric machine system is provided with: a rotary electric machine having a rotor, a stator, and a stator coil; and a controller configured to execute drive control of the rotary electric machine. The controller applies, to a drive control signal for the rotary electric machine, normalization information, which normalizes the drive control signal for the rotary electric machine, derived by comparing specific information about a value correlated to an induced voltage occurring in the stator coil when the rotor of the rotary electric machine is driven under prescribed conditions and predetermined reference information about the value correlated to the induced voltage occurring in the stator coil. Then, the drive control signal normalized by the application is used to execute the drive control of the rotary electric machine.

In the circumferential center portion of the permanent magnet, a gap is provided between an outer-circumference-side outer surface of the permanent magnet and the outer-circumference-side inner surface of the magnet insertion hole.

Abstract: A screw pump has a male screw accommodation hole and a female screw accommodation hole formed in a pump housing. A male screw member and a female screw member are respectively accommodated in the male screw accommodation hole and the female screw accommodation hole. A male-side clearance is formed in a radial direction between the male screw member and the male screw accommodation hole and a female-side clearance is formed in the radial direction between the female screw member and the female screw accommodation hole. The female-side clearance is made to be larger than the male-side clearance, so that the female screw member can easily move in a direction away from the male screw member to the female-side clearance when any extraneous material is going to be wedged between the male screw member and the female screw member, to thereby prevent a locked condition of the screw members.
