Patent number: 11456643Abstract: A rotating electric machine includes a rotor rotatably supported and also including a magnet portion; a stator including a stator winding; and a plunger configured to displace the rotor and the stator relative to one another along an axial direction of the rotating electric machine. The stator includes a slotless structure in which at least one of no magnetic teeth and slot is provided. Thus, an attracting force acting between the magnet portion and the stator is weakened, thereby the rotor and the stator are easily displaceable relative to each other by the plunger.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Minoru Ishida, Naoki Katayama, Tsubasa Sakuishi, Yuki Takahashi
