Abstract: A hybrid excitation rotating electrical machine configured with a rotor having a shaft extended on at least one side in an axial direction, and first and second cores that are separated in the axial direction with a gap between the cores. First magnetic poles that are excited by a permanent magnet and second magnetic poles that are not excited by the permanent magnet are alternately arranged in a circumferential direction in each of the first and second cores. The first magnetic poles of the first core have a different polarity from that of the first magnetic poles of the second core, and the first magnetic poles of one of the first and second cores are placed so as to face the second magnetic poles of the other of the first and second cores in the axial direction with the gap between the magnetic poles.

Abstract: A rocking actuator and a laser machining apparatus which can suppress a temperature rise of a permanent magnet in a moving-magnet actuator. Even when a steerable mirror is positioned by rapid and continuous motions, highly reliable machining can be performed without degrading machining throughput or hole position accuracy. A cooling jacket for cooling a casing and heat transfer units brought into contact with a coil and the casing are provided. Heat generated in the coil is introduced to the casing through the heat transfer bypass units. Thus, the temperature rise of the coil is suppressed. Radial grooves are provided in the permanent magnet opposed to the coil so as to prevent an eddy current from appearing therein. Groove depth is made not smaller than skin depth expressed by a function of volume resistivity and permeability of the permanent magnet and a fundamental frequency of a current applied to the coil.
