An electric motor including a permanent-magnet rotor having embedded magnets held in place by several segments. The embedded magnets are secured by segments including non-circular openings near their centers. Several non-magnetic, non-conductive bars extend through the non-circular openings of the segments to secure the segments in relation to the shaft. The motor is capable of producing high torque while only requiring a minimum amount of space.

A motor with positive torque parking positions. The motor includes a rotor which is rotatable about an axis of rotation and a stator in magnetic coupling relation with the rotor. The stator includes a plurality of teeth each having a radially extending shaft and an axially extending face. The faces of the stator teeth define an aperture for receiving the rotor and the faces of the stator teeth and the rotor define a air gap therebetween. Each stator tooth has a notch in its face that is approximately at least as wide as the shaft of the stator tooth so that the stator has a magnetic configuration relative to the rotor for parking the rotor in a rest position corresponding to a positive torque starting position. The motor also includes a winding on the shafts of the stator teeth and a control circuit for controlling current in the winding whereby an electromagnetic field is produced for rotating the rotor at a desired speed or torque during the operation of the motor.

The predetermined offset angle is selected from within a range from about zero degrees/((m−1)×n) to about 22.5 degrees/((m−1)×n). The number of the rotor magnetic poles “P” is 8n (n is an integer equal to or greater than one). The number of the stator magnetic poles “T” is 9n (n is an integer equal to or greater than one). This motor reliably decreases cogging torque.

Second and third laminations are formed in kind. The second lamination is rotated relative to the first lamination and positioned on the first lamination such that the projection from the first lamination engages the receiving opening in the second lamination. The third lamination is positioned on and rotated relative to the second lamination in kind to form the core.
