A permanent magnet synchronous machine includes a stator, and a rotor which defines with the stator an air gap. The stator includes a plurality of teeth which are disposed in spaced-apart circumferential relationship and separated from one another by a tooth pitch. Each of the teeth has a shaft which terminates in a tooth head adjacent the air gap, with the tooth heads of neighboring teeth being separated from one another by a slot. The tooth heads are constructed to prevent saturation. The rotor has permanent magnets which are aligned in flux concentration direction and arranged to define a pole pitch, wherein a pitch ratio of tooth pitch to pole pitch is ≧2.5.
