Abstract
A motor includes a rotor core, permanent magnets and non-magnetic layers. The permanent magnets are embedded in the rotor core with each of the permanent magnets defining a pole of the rotor having a pole center and a peripheral edge section, with the peripheral edge section located in a vicinity between the poles and a vicinity of the rotor surface. The non-magnetic layers are located in a vicinity of the rotor surface at a pole center side position with respect to the peripheral edge section of each of the permanent magnets. The peripheral edge sections and the non-magnetic layers are positioned to cancel 5-th or 7-th order harmonics of an induction voltage. The poles are disposed at every approximately constant interval, varying in a constant angle. The peripheral edge sections and the non-magnetic layers are independent from one another, and the rotor core is interposed between them.
