Patent ID: 8174173

Claim:
A rotating electric machine comprising: a rotor having a rotational axis, a radial direction, and an outer rotor surface around the rotational axis, the radial direction being perpendicular to the rotational axis and extending radially from the rotational axis; a stator provided to surround the outer rotor surface, comprising: a stator core having teeth extending towards the outer rotor surface along the radial direction; and a stator coil which is formed by winding a wire, each of the teeth being inserted in the stator coil, the stator coil including a coil end being provided on a load side of the stator, the stator coil having an inner coil surface facing the teeth, an outer coil surface comprising a reverse side of the inner coil surface, an outer circumferential surface comprising one end portion in the radial direction, and an inner circumferential surface comprising another end portion in the radial direction, the inner circumferential surface facing a surface including the outer rotor surface, one end and another end of the wire being formed on the outer coil surface; and a load side bracket provided on the load side of the stator and having a groove, the coil end being provided in the groove, at least two portions of a portion of the inner circumferential surface, a portion of the outer circumferential surface, and a portion of the outer rotor surface contacting the groove.
