A synchronous reluctance type rotary electric machine of an embodiment includes, a rotor core, a plurality of conductor bars, short-circuit rings, a stator core, and multiphase armature windings. The rotor core is provided to be rotatable around a rotation axis, and includes multi-layered hollow parts having a convex shape toward a side radially inward formed for each pole in cross section, and a bridge formed between each of the hollow parts and an outer circumferential surface thereof. The plurality of conductor bars are disposed in the respective hollow parts and extend in an axial direction and over approximately entire length of the rotor core. The short-circuit rings connect the plurality of conductor bars together. Then, in all of the hollow parts of a second layer and subsequent layers other than the hollow part of a first layer which is at a position farthest from the rotation axis of the rotor core, the conductor bars are disposed at both end portions thereof close to the bridge at a predetermined distance from the bridge.

The invention relates to an electric motor comprising: (A) a ring-like rotor which comprises: a plurality of electromagnets that are equi-angularly spaced and equi-radially disposed in a ring-like manner; and, (B) a stator which comprises: a plurality of solenoids that are equi-angularly spaced and equi-radially disposed, each of said solenoids having a solenoid core, which in turn has a rectangular shape in cross-section, and a cavity; and a solenoid coil within each of said solenoids; wherein said electromagnets are arranged such that they can move through said cavities of the solenoid cores in a rotational manner, wherein negative and positive ends, respectively, of the plurality of said electromagnets are connected in parallel to respective negative and positive peripheral strips, and wherein current to the electromagnet coils is supplied from a power supply via two brushes, respectively to the negative and positive strips.

A motor comprising a frame and one or a plurality of magnets disposed inside the frame, wherein a gap extending in a circumferential direction is provided between an inner peripheral surface of the frame and an outer peripheral surface of the magnet, and the magnet and the frame arranged at both sides of the gap are coupled together in a rotational shaft direction by means of an adhesive.

In an electric motor (2) which includes four permanent magnets (12) and in which the number of teeth (20) and the number of slots (23) are set to 6, when a polar arc angle of the permanent magnet (12) is 1, and a skew angle of the teeth (20) and the slots (23) is 2, the polar arc angle 1 and the skew angle 2 are set so as to satisfy 501<70 and 0<220.

A DC electric motor for driving a tailgate of a vehicle is provided, the DC electric motor including a rotor and a stator, the rotor being rotatably supported about an axis of rotation, at least one of the rotor and the stator having a magnetic asymmetry for generating an asymmetric magnetic interaction between the rotor and the stator, wherein the rotor and the stator are configured to assume first positions and second positions relative to each other, wherein a higher holding torque acts between the rotor and the stator in one of the first positions than in one of the second positions due to the asymmetry.
