Rotor

Abstract:

The rotor includes a shaft that allows cooling oil to flow therein; a substantially cylindrical rotor yoke fitted over the shaft; a magnet fitted to the rotor yoke; and a first end plate abutting on one end of the rotor yoke. In this configuration, the rotor yoke includes a cooling oil passage that is formed on a radially inner side of the magnet and allows the cooling oil to flow in an axial direction, the rotor yoke receives a pressing force in the axial direction via the first end plate, and the rotor yoke and the first end plate form a sealing part that seals the cooling oil, in a section positioned between the cooling oil passage and the magnet in the radial direction.
