    Abstract: A permanent magnet motor comprises: a stator comprising teeth; and a rotor rotatable relative to the stator, the rotor having a plurality of poles, wherein each pole of the rotor comprises a pair of magnet retention slots, each magnet retention slot accommodating a magnet. Surfaces of the teeth of the stator facing the rotor are flat or have an arc shape. Each magnet retention slot may have a plurality of angled slot surfaces forming a first barrier around a corner of the magnet positioned closest to an outer surface of the rotor. At least three second barriers are positioned around a mid-axis extending along between the pair of the magnet retention slots. Each magnet retention slot comprises a slot surface slanted or curved relative to a second side surface of the magnet facing an inner surface of the rotor to form a third barrier around an end of the second side surface of the magnet.
