Abstract: A method of manufacturing a permanent magnet rotor comprising a rotor yoke (2) of a rotor (1) which is formed by laminating a large number of steel sheets (4), (14), (24), (34) and (44), has 2n times (n is a positive integer) of magnetic poles (5) on the outer periphery, has slots (6) at the bases of all or every other magnetic poles at a substantially equal distance from a rotatable shaft hole (7), and has permanent magnets (3) for a field inserted into the slots, and a method for producing it. It has a structure that the permanent magnets for the field are prevented from coming out, or the permanent magnets for the field have their faces treated in order to improve the safety and reliability of the permanent magnet rotor.

Abstract: A DC brushless motor 3 is provided which comprises armature 31 and rotor 32. Rotor 32 is provided with a rotor yoke that has four main poles 321 on its periphery. Slots with a radial-direction size of L.sub.m are formed on main poles 321 of the rotor yoke. Magnetic-field permanent magnet 323 with an approximate thickness of L.sub.m is embedded in each slot 322, such that the radial-direction size L.sub.m of slot 322 and the air gap length L.sub.g of the air gap formed between rotor 32 and armature 31 satisfy the relationship 0<L.sub.m +L.sub.g .ltoreq.2 mm.

Abstract: A rotor having permanent magnets for a brushless electromotor includes a yoke formed from a plurality of silicon steel sheets laminated together and provided along its outer periphery with even number of, at least four magnetic poles. The magnetic poles are alternately provided substantially at equal distances from a rotational axis with slots to receive the respective permanent magnets such that the sides of the permanent magnets facing a rotary shaft have the same polarity. As a result, a compact and efficient rotor is obtained, and damage to or flying off of the permanent magnets is prevented.
