    摘要: A rotor for an electric motor may include a shaft extending along a rotation axis of the electric motor and a rotor core comprising a plurality of core blocks fixed to the shaft and arranged along the rotation axis. The plurality of core blocks may include a first core block and a second core block that are oriented differently from each other in a circumferential direction about the rotation axis. Each of the plurality of core blocks may include an outer surface extending along the circumferential direction, a center hole through which the shaft passes, and an outer groove defined in the outer surface. An inner surface of the center hole may be in continuous contact in the circumferential direction with an outer surface of the shaft over an entire circumference thereof.

    摘要: A rotor is provided with: a rotor core (32); a plurality of permanent magnets (33); a substantially tubular magnet cover (71); and a load reception block (70). The rotor core (32) rotates integrally with a rotary shaft of a motor. The permanent magnets (33) are arranged on the outer peripheral part of the rotor core (32). The magnet cover (71) covers the exterior of the plurality of permanent magnets (33) and the rotor core (32), and has a flange part which is bent radially inward at the end along a rotation axis. The load reception block (70) is disposed between the flange part and the end surface of the rotor core (32) in a direction along the rotation axis, and abuts against the flange part and the rotor core (32).

    摘要: A method of assembling a rotor including a cylindrical rotor core and a permanent magnet that is held in a hole portion provided in the rotor core such that a longitudinal direction of the permanent magnet is parallel to an axis of the rotor core. The method includes: a load measuring step of measuring a load applied to the permanent magnet or/and the rotor core when the permanent magnet is brought into contact with the rotor core; and a moving step of moving the permanent magnet or/and the rotor core so as to change a position of the permanent magnet relative to the rotor core, depending on data relating to the load measured at the load measuring step, such that a positional deviation between the permanent magnet and the hole portion is reduced. Also disclosed is a control device for a rotor assembly apparatus.
