Patent number: 11411449Abstract: It can be considered that a cross-sectional shape of a permanent magnet having a parallel reference surface is obtained by removing a portion from a cross-sectional shape of a permanent magnet which does not have the parallel reference. A cross-sectional area of the permanent magnet is further reduced than that of the permanent magnet which does not have the parallel reference surface. In addition, also a magnet volume of the permanent magnet is further reduced than that of the permanent magnet that does not have the parallel reference surface. The inventors have confirmed that a decrease in magnet volume induced by the parallel reference surface does not affect the characteristics of an IPM motor.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Atsushi Tada, Ko Yanagihara, Shinji Yoshida
