Abstract
In a rotary electric machine capable of improving the reliability of an object provided with the same, a permanent magnet type synchronous rotary electric machine comprises has a stator provided with windings. A rotor arranged supported for rotation in the stator with a gap between the inner surface of the stator and the outer surface thereof, is divided into two rotor bodies each provided with permanent magnets of opposite polarities alternately arranged in a circumferential direction. In switching the permanent magnet type synchronous rotary electric machine from a motor to a generator, a second rotor body is moved axially relative to a first rotor body to an axial position that makes the intensity of a combined magnetic field created by the permanent magnets lower than that of a combined magnetic field created by the permanent magnets when the second rotor body is located at a predetermined position, and then the second rotor body is moved to the predetermined position.
