  • Patent number: 7737600
    Abstract: In a stator core composed of a powder compacted magnetic body, a yoke part comprises a protrusion protruding from an axial end face of a tooth. The tooth has an axial length gradually decreases towards an outside along the radial direction of the stator core, and a circumferential length which gradually increases towards an outside along the radial direction of the stator core. In one of the cross sections of stator core perpendicular to a radial direction, the height difference between axial end faces of the yoke part and the tooth is substantially equal to an axial length of a coil end part. Further, a cross-sectional area of the tooth perpendicular to the radial direction is substantially maintained constant along the radial direction, and the cross-sectional area is secured at a junction between the tooth and the yoke part, while half of the cross-sectional area is secured in a circumferential cross section of the yoke part.
