Abstract: A motor includes a rotor with interior permanent magnets and a stator with teeth wound by concentrated windings. Each permanent magnet is split along a plane oriented towards the stator, and an electrically insulating section is set between the split magnet pieces. This structure allows each permanent magnet to be electrically split, thereby restraining the production of an eddy current. As a result, heat-production is dampened thereby preventing heat demagnetization of the permanent magnets.

Abstract: A motor including a stator which has a plurality of teeth provided with windings on each of the teeth and a rotor which has permanent magnets inside the rotor, then the rotor includes a rotating shaft disposed at the center part, a rotor core fixed to the rotating shaft, permanent magnet slits formed inside the outer rim of the rotor core, grooves formed at the walls of the magnet slits, and the magnets inserted into the magnet slits. Then adhesive layers are formed in the magnet slits for sticking the magnets to the rotor core. In this structure, even if the size of the magnet slits and size of the magnet sections are substantially same, the adhesive remains at the grooves, so that the magnets are surely stuck to the rotor core. Also, by forming the grooves at the outer rotor rim side corners of the magnet slits, the magnetic flux short circuit of the magnets themselves and the possible travels of the magnetic flux into the adjacent magnets are suppressed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing &egr;-caprolactam which comprises the step of treating, with water, a reaction product containing 1-aza-2-alkoxy-1-cycloheptene, which is obtained by gas phase Beckmann rearrangement reaction of cyclohexanone oxime using a solid catalyst in the presence of alcohol, to eliminate the 1-aza-2-alkoxy-1-cycloheptene. The resulting &egr;-caprolactam usually has a 1-aza-2-alkoxy-1-cycloheptene content of 100 ppm or less, preferably 25 ppm or less, more preferably 10 ppm or less and, therefore, has low free basicity and good qualities.
