Abstract

A projecting portion 23h is integrally provided at a first connecting portion 23e of a bobbin 23. The projecting portion 23h has a triangular cross-section taken in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to a laminating direction of the steel plates 21 and parallel to magnetic steel plates 21. The section of the projecting portion is geometrically similar in shape to a cross-section of a fitting recessed portion 7a taken in the orthogonal direction. The cross-section of the projecting portion 23h is substantially the same in size as or slightly smaller than the cross-section of the fitting recessed portion 7a. With this arrangement, when one ends of six magnetic columns 13 of a magnetic pole constituent member 9 are brought into engagement with six fitting recessed portions 7a, projecting portions 23h passes through the fitting recessed portions 7a and come out of the fitting recessed portions 7a.

Claims
