A rotor has a plurality of permanent magnets (2) embedded in storage pores (3), and is characterised in that each permanent magnet (2) is inserted in each storage pores (3) so as to form gaps at both ends of the storage pores (3) of the field core (1), thereby to form air paths for cooling air. A mechanism for cooling such a rotor having permanent magnets (2) is characterised by forming air paths for cooling air by providing gaps between each of the inner surfaces of the end plates (4) and the outer surface of the field core (1), and by forming air paths for cooling air by providing air paths in the axial direction in contact with each of the permanent magnets (2) on both ends of the permanent magnets (2), and locating an inlet (13) and an outlet (14) for the cooling air in each of said air paths in such a manner that the cooling air enters one end plate (4) and exits the other end plate (4) via each of said air paths. <IMAGE> |
