Abstract
A method of punching a core piece having a bridge formed between a radially-outer end of a magnet insertion hole and an outer region of the core piece. The method includes providing a magnetic steel sheet and a punch configured to form the core piece, punching out the magnet insertion hole from the magnetic steel sheet, and forming a through hole that defines a radially-outer contour of the bridge by punching the magnetic steel sheet. The method includes forming the bridge between the radially-outer end of magnet insertion hole and the outer region of the core piece, and blanking the core piece, from the magnetic steel sheet, in an exterior shape with the punch while avoiding an edge of the punch from coinciding with the radially-outer contour of the bridge.
