  • Patent number: 11362557
    Abstract: An electric motor for reducing eddy current loss including an armature; a field element or permanent magnet as a magnetic source; and a shaft rotating together with the armature or field element. The permanent includes magnet particles bound together by a binder resin, and has a degree of electric resistance anisotropy (?1/?2) of 2 or more. The first electric resistivity (?1) is measured in an axial direction and a second electric resistivity (?2) is measured in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The bonded magnet is, for example, a compression-molded bonded magnet that contains 93% to 98.5% of the magnet particles, and the first electric resistivity is 300 ??m or more. When the compression-molded bonded magnet whose compression direction is arranged along the axial direction is used as a field source, the eddy current loss occurring in the compression-molded bonded magnet can be efficiently reduced.
