Abstract
An object of the present invention is to firmly fix a magnet at a predetermined position of a magnet insertion portion. A rotor for a rotary electric machine includes: a rotary shaft; at least one magnet; a rotor core having at least one magnet housing inside which the at least one magnet is attached; and at least one fixing member disposed inside the at least one magnet housing to fix the at least one magnet, wherein the at least one fixing member includes: a first fixing portion that is in contact with a side surface of the at least one magnet in a radial direction of the rotary shaft or in contact with a side surface of the at least one magnet in a circumferential direction of the rotary shaft; and a second fixing portion that is in contact with an end face of the at least one magnet in an axial direction of the rotary shaft. The first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are connected to each other at an angle smaller than 90 degrees, and the at least one fixing member is inserted, together with the at least one magnet, in the at least one magnet housing and presses the at least one magnet against an inner wall of the at least one magnet housing due to an increase in the angle between the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion.
