Abstract: A motor includes a rotor fixed to a rotary shaft, a stator arranged so as to surround the rotor with a gap from the rotor in a radial direction orthogonal to an axis direction of the rotary shaft, and a case accommodating the rotor and the stator. The rotor includes a plurality of rotor cores made from a soft magnetic material, and a rotor fixing member that fixes the rotor cores. The stator includes a plurality of stator cores made from a soft magnetic material, a stator fixing member that fixes the stator cores, and coils wound around the stator cores, respectively. The motor includes at least two sets of the rotor and the stator, and the sets are stacked in an axis direction of the rotary shaft.

Abstract: Provided is a rare earth magnet that allows suppressing deterioration of magnetic properties and a method for manufacturing the same. The rare earth magnet of the present disclosure includes a magnet body containing a rare earth element R1, a transition metal element T, and boron B and includes a main phase. A region in the vicinity of a corner portion of the magnet body of a constituent surface constituting a surface of the magnet body is a processed surface on which a removal process has been performed, and a region closer to a center than the region in the vicinity of the corner portion of the constituent surface is a non-processed surface on which the removal process is not performed.

Abstract: In an axial gap motor, a rotor includes a plurality of rotor cores fixed in a circumferential direction of a rotor base, and a stator includes a plurality of stator cores fixed in a circumferential direction of a stator base, and coils wound around the stator cores. End faces of each of the rotor cores and end faces of the corresponding stator core are opposed to each other while being exposed to each other.

Abstract: A magnet embedded type motor capable of reducing a counter electromotive voltage while improving a torque is provided. The magnet embedded type motor of the present disclosure includes a stator and a rotor rotatably disposed inside the stator. The stator includes a stator core and a coil wound around the stator core. The rotor includes a rotor core and a plurality of magnet groups embedded in the rotor core along a circumferential direction. The plurality of magnet groups form a plurality of respective magnetic poles. A magnetic material constituting the rotor core has a saturation magnetic flux density higher than a saturation magnetic flux density of a magnetic material constituting the stator core by 0.2 T or more.
