Abstract
Abstract A permanent magnet rotor (1) used in a corrosive atmosphere or liquid and provided with field permanent magnets (10) inserted into slots (9) of a lamination of silicon steel plates (2), wherein the outer surfaces of the field permanent magnets (10) are covered with anticorrosive plates made of an antiicorrosive material. The field permanent magnets (10) of the permanent rotor (1) can be used without being corroded, and the rotor (1) can be easily manufactured.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A corrosion resistant rotor with auxiliary yokes for a brushless motor, comprising: a rotatable shaft; a main yoke surrounding said rotatable shaft and having at least one pair of flat surfaces and at least one pair of curved surfaces, said flat and curved surfaces being arranged alternately; at least one pair of permanent magnets provided on said flat surfaces; at least one pair of auxiliary yokes provided on said permanent magnets to form a rotor proper together with said main yoke and permanent magnets; a metallic case made from a corrosion resistant material in a form of deep bowl having a cylindrical portion for covering a circumferential surface of said rotor proper and a circular portion for covering an end surface of said rotor proper; and a circular molding provided on another end surface of said rotor proper; said rotatable shaft extending through and hermetically sealed to said circular portion of said metallic case and said circular molding.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A corrosion resistant rotor with auxiliary yokes for a brushless motor, comprising: a rotatable shaft; a main yoke surrounding said rotatable shaft and having at least one pair of flat surfaces and at least one pair of curved surfaces, said flat and curved surfaces being arranged alternately; at least one pair of permanent magnets provided on said flat surfaces; at least one pair of auxiliary yokes provided on said permanent magnets to form a rotor proper together with said main yoke and permanent magnets; a metallic case made from a corrosion resistant material in a form of deep bowl having a cylindrical portion for covering a circumferential surface of said rotor proper and a circular portion for covering an end surface of said rotor proper; and a circular molding provided on another end surface of said rotor proper; said rotatable shaft extending through and hermetically sealed to said circular portion of said metallic case and said circular molding.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The corrosion resistant rotor with auxiliary yokes of claim 1, wherein said cylindrical portion extends from an end of said rotor proper to an extend equal to a thickness of said circular molding to thereby form a circular recess in which said circular molding is fitted.
