  • Patent number: 9276441
    Abstract: A stator core comprises a circumferentially deformable part formed on a radially outer peripheral side of a yoke; circumferentially facing divided parts formed on a radially inner peripheral side of the yoke, each having a dividing line that is oriented in a radial direction and reaches a portion between teeth and divided surfaces that face each other without a gap; and radially facing divided parts formed at the center between the radially inner and outer sides of the yoke along the circumferential direction at the predetermined interval, and each having divided surfaces that face each other in the radial direction, and being continuous at one ends with the respective circumferentially facing divided parts. The circumferentially facing divided parts each have a compressive stress being smaller than a compressive stress acting on the circumferentially deformable part or being zero.
