Abstract
In an electric rotating machine according to this application, a maximum height of a permanent magnet in a rotor and a flange-part root radial thickness of the tooth portion in the stator can be set properly, so that it is possible to eliminate unbalanced magnetic saturation at flange parts of the heads of the tooth portions. This makes it possible to reduce an unbalance between torque ripples that are generated respectively by an upper-side rotor block and a lower-side rotor block when an electric power steering apparatus is driven under static steering conditions, to thereby achieve an electric rotating machine with a suppressed torque ripple. With the use of this electric rotating machine, since the torque-ripple unbalance is reduced, it is possible to achieve an electric power steering apparatus with a suppressed torque ripple.
