Abstract: A rotary electric machine includes a frame; a stator whose stator-slot number Ns is 12; a rotor whose rotor-pole number Np is 8, the rotor being disposed inside the stator. The frame has a frame thickness T(?) at mechanical angle ?, with respect to a reference line that connects the inner circumferential center of the frame with an arbitrary point, other than the center, around the center that is circularly expanded in a Fourier series. The difference between the stator-slot number Ns and the rotor-pole number Np is k (=|Ns?Np|).

P = ( T k + T N ? ? p ) / ? n = 0 ? ? T n × 100 ? [ % ] ( 2 ) , is less than 12%.

Abstract: A permanent-magnet rotating machine includes a rotor having a rotor core carrying on a curved outer surface multiple permanent magnets arranged in two rows along an axial direction. The permanent magnets in one row are skewed from those in the other row in a circumferential direction by a row-to-row skew angle (electrical angle) ?e. A stator having a tubular stator core in which the rotor disposed, includes stator coils for producing a rotating magnetic field for rotating the rotor. A lower limit of the row-to-row skew angle ?e larger than 30 degrees (electrical angle). A ratio, of cogging torque occurring in the absence of skew to cogging torque occurring when the permanent magnets are skewed, at a row-to-row skew angle of 30 degrees is calculated based on the cogging torque ratio, the row-to-row skew angle ?e, and B-H curve properties of the stator core.
