Abstract: An alternator according to the present invention includes: a shaft; a rotor that is fixed to the shaft; a stator that has a stator core that is disposed so as to surround an outer circumference of the rotor and in which a plurality of slots that extend axially are formed so as to be spaced apart circumferentially; and a front bracket and a rear bracket that hold circumferential edge portions of the stator core from two axial ends using a plurality of holding means and that envelope the stator core, a pair of first stays that are formed on the front bracket being fixed to a vehicle by bolts that penetrate through a pair of penetrating apertures that are respectively formed on the first stays, and the pair of penetrating apertures are formed at positions such that an approximate perpendicular bisector of a straight line that connects centers of the penetrating apertures intersects an axis of the shaft; and one of the holding means is disposed on the perpendicular bisector near the shaft.

Abstract: An AC generator comprises a shaft, a rotor secured to the shaft, a stator with a stator core provided to surround the outer circumference of the rotor and having a plurality of slots formed to extend in the axial direction while spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and a front bracket and a rear bracket surrounding the stator core while clamping the circumferential edge portion of the stator core from the opposite sides in the axial direction using a plurality of clamping means. A pair of front stays formed in the front bracket are secured to a vehicle by means of bolts penetrating a pair of through holes formed, respectively, in the pair of front stays. The pair of through holes are formed at such positions as the perpendicular bisector of a line connecting the centers intersects the axis of the shaft, and one clamping means is provided on the shaft side perpendicular bisector.
