Abstract

A core includes a laminated body. The laminated body includes a plurality of electrical steel sheets stacked one on another. The laminated body includes a contact area between a pair of adjacent electrical steel sheets of the plurality of electrical steel sheets. The contact area includes a first friction area and a second friction area with friction coefficients different from each other.

Claims (29)

1. A core comprising:

a laminated body including a plurality of electrical steel sheets stacked one on another,

the laminated body including a contact area between a pair of adjacent electrical steel sheets of the plurality of electrical steel sheets,

the contact area including

a direct contact area where the pair of adjacent electrical steel sheets are in direct contact with each other; and

a first friction area and a second friction area respectively having different friction coefficients from the direct contact area, and

the friction coefficients of the first friction area and the second friction area being different from each other.

2. The core according to claim 1 , wherein

the pair of electrical steel sheets include

a first oscillating portion that oscillates in a predetermined amount of oscillation when excited, and

a second oscillating portion that oscillates in a greater amount of oscillation than the first oscillating portion,

the first friction area is located in the first oscillating portion,

the second friction area is located in the second oscillating portion, and

the second friction area has a smaller friction coefficient than the first friction area.

3. The core according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a fastener configured to fasten the pair of electrical steel sheets,

the first friction area being closer to the fastener than the second friction area, and

the second friction area having a smaller friction coefficient than the first friction area.

4. The core according to claim 1 , wherein

the laminated body is held by a holding member,

a distance between the second friction area and the holding member is longer than a distance between the first friction area and the holding member, and

the second friction area has a smaller friction coefficient than the first friction area.

5. The core according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of the pair of electrical steel sheets is provided with a surface member on a surface thereof, and

at least one of the first friction area and the second friction area is located on the surface member.

6. The core according to claim 1 , wherein

the first friction area and the second friction area of the pair of electrical steel sheets differ from each other in surface roughness.

7. A rotating electrical machine including the core according to claim 1 .

8. A stationary apparatus including the core according to claim 1 .
