Abstract
A rotor core includes low permeability areas having lower permeability than that of a material of the rotor core, between an outer circumference of each magnetic pole and a side surface of each permanent magnet. The low permeability areas are formed asymmetrically with respect to a geometric center of each magnetic pole so that a magnetic center of the magnetic pole is displaced toward one side with respect to the geometric center. The rotor cores are placed upside down relative to each other so that a relative position in the circumferential direction of the low permeability areas with respect to the permanent magnets differs.
