INTERIOR PERMANENT MAGNET ROTOR AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

An interior permanent magnet rotor includes a cylindrical rotor core having an axial hole extending in an axial direction, and a resin magnet that is formed to fill the axial hole by injection molding and that has a pair of axial end faces. The resin magnet includes a linear portion that has a linear shape in section perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotor core. The linear portion has a first end and a second end located closer to an outer periphery of the rotor core than the first end is. A gate mark is located on the second end of the linear portion on at least one of the axial end faces of the resin magnet.
