Abstract
A rotor for a rotary electric machine includes a rotor core including at least one low-rigidity portion rigidity; a plurality of magnets; a rotary shaft; a washer contacting at least one end surface of the rotor core in an axial direction of the rotor core; and a nut. An outer circumferential end of the washer is disposed more radially inward than the magnet holes, the washer has an outer circumferential shape with recesses and projections in which a distance from a rotation center to the outer circumferential end of the washer periodically varies, and a distance from the outer circumferential end of the washer to each low-rigidity portion is greater than a distance from the outer circumferential end of the washer to each magnet hole.
