Abstract
A rotor core according to an embodiment includes a pair of magnet openings disposed such that a space therebetween widens toward an outer peripheral side and in which a pair of permanent magnets having a magnetic pole direction relative to a radial direction identical to each other are inserted. The magnet openings each have a shape that connects together a first opening portion formed along the profile of the corresponding permanent magnet and a second opening portion that, when the permanent magnet is inserted in the first opening portion, covers, out of corner portions of the permanent magnet, a corner portion closest to the other permanent magnet with an air gap defined therebetween. The second opening portion forms a bridge portion between the second opening portion and the second opening portion of the other magnet opening.
