Abstract: A rotor core of a rotating electrical machine has interpole bridges each disposed on an outer circumferential side with respect to a permanent magnet in a non-magnetic portion between the poles, and interpole diameter bridges each surrounded by two permanent magnets and an interpole bridge. The outer circumferential surface of each interpole bridge is formed by a first flat surface. Thus, a path of a magnetic flux passing through a magnetic gap is lengthened, so that a q-axis inductance is reduced. In addition, a width in a radial direction of each interpole bridge and a width in a circumferential direction of each interpole diameter bridge are constant, and each interpole bridge and each interpole diameter bridge are disposed so as to be perpendicular to each other to form a T shape. Thus, the concentration of stress during press-fitting of the permanent magnet into a magnet hole can be reduced.

Abstract: In an electric rotating machine according to this application, a maximum height of a permanent magnet in a rotor and a flange-part root radial thickness of the tooth portion in the stator can be set properly, so that it is possible to eliminate unbalanced magnetic saturation at flange parts of the heads of the tooth portions. This makes it possible to reduce an unbalance between torque ripples that are generated respectively by an upper-side rotor block and a lower-side rotor block when an electric power steering apparatus is driven under static steering conditions, to thereby achieve an electric rotating machine with a suppressed torque ripple. With the use of this electric rotating machine, since the torque-ripple unbalance is reduced, it is possible to achieve an electric power steering apparatus with a suppressed torque ripple.
