Abstract:
A stepper motor is provided that is compact, easily manufactured, and provides high torque. The stepper motor comprises a multi-pole composite magnet which functions as a rotor, at least one stator member which determines the angular position of this rotor, and means for positioning the rotor and the stator members on a common axis. The composite magnet comprises two pieces, each piece having a mating member and an arc-shaped member integrally formed with the mating member. To form the composite magnet, the mating members of both pieces are aligned on an axis and the arc-shaped members of both pieces are juxtaposed. The first and second pieces are magnetized in opposite axial directions which results in two advantages. First, the composite magnet provides a high area of energy conversion per unit volume, thereby significantly reducing the size of the stepper motor in comparison to prior art stepper motors. Second, because the projections and apertures are magnetized in opposite axial directions, the magnetic poles are extremely well-defined thereby ensuring that the composite magnet provides both accuracy and high torque capability.

Abstract:
An electromagnetic stepping motor for two directions of rotation has a stator (1), a rotor (6) and a housing (23). Four half-coils (2) with iron cores (4) are arranged equidistant from and with their axes parallel to the rotor axis (3) and perpendicularly to a return bridge (5). Each half-coil (2) is wound in the direction opposite the half-coils (2) lying opposite it. The iron cores (4) are connected magnetically to each other by a pole-shoe spider (8) at their ends which lie opposite the return bridge (5). The permanent magnet (7) of the rotor (6) is arranged within a central bore hole (9) of the pole-shoe spider (8), with the formation of an air gap.

A rotor carrying a plurality of permanent magnet of alternate polarity with respect to the adjacent magnet, and stator having a plurality of electromagnet which is selectively energized, are aligned in axial alignment to each other.

A multipolar rotor (11) is magnetized axially and comprises, in one of its faces situated opposite two pole pieces (1 and 2), alternate north and south poles distributed along its periphery. Each of the pole pieces has a concave inside rim provided with teeth (5) separated by interposed zones (6). A core (3), on which a coil (4) is mounted, magnetically couples the pole pieces to the coil. The pitch .alpha.s of the teeth of the pole pieces is different from the pitch .alpha.r of the poles of the rotor.

A cylindrical field system of a low speed high torque motor is divided in an axial direction into first and second field system portions, these two field system portions are connected by a connecting member and a field magnet is disposed between the field system portions so that particularly machine work can be made before fitting of the field magnet. Accordingly, chips can be removed easily by use of a simple device.A cylindrical field system is divided in an axial direction into first and second field system portions, these field system portions are connected by a connecting member and cylindrical magnets fixed to a flexible belt-like fixture are wound on the field system portions between them so as to produce a rotor. Accordingly, the assembling property of the motor can be improved remarkably.
Abstract:
A stepping motor includes a first element including at least two permanent magnets each having a pair of N and S poles and a second element including a yoke arranged to be separated from the first element by a predetermined interval. The first and second elements can be moved relative to each other. The second element has a two-phase coil arranged on the yoke in association with a width of each pole in a moving direction of the permanent magnet and detent torque generating means for generating a static detent torque by relative movement. The detent torque generating means is arranged on the yoke such that a stable position of one of the first and second elements moved by a dynamic torque generated when one of the coils constituting the two-phase coil is energized is deviated from a stable position of a moving element caused by a detent torque generated from the detent torque generating means. A method of controlling the stepping motor is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A compact stepping motor is equipped with at least four stator plates positioned in parallel with each other, a rotor with a rotary axis perpendicular to the stator plates, and at least two energizing coils each positioned between each two of the stator plates. The rotor is positioned out of the energizing coils. The center axes of the coils and the rotary axis of the rotor are in parallel with each other. One coil is positioned between one pair of stator plates and one coil is positioned between the other pair of stator plates and share a common center axis. Circumferentially arranged stator poles extend from each stator plate perpendicularly to the each stator plate so as to surround the rotor at a specified distance.
Abstract:
A multiphase motor including a facially magnetized rotor having N/2 pairs of poles per face. The motor also includes a stator for each phase. Each stator has a first and second pair of polar pieces, each pair of polar pieces including internal and external substantially coplanar polar pieces interpositioned one within the other. The internal stator pieces of one phase of the motor are constructed with fractional stator poles, whereas all remaining stator poles are full. Each phase includes a core piece which has a first end connected to the internal polar pieces, and a second end connected to external polar pieces. Each core of each phase has a coil wound thereon. A motor constructed according to the invention prevents loss no magnetic flux from the magnetized rotor. This allows the motor to be highly energy efficient, and compact in size.

An electric stepper motor of the type comprising an axially magnetized rotor disc and a plurality of elemental magnetic stator circuits is disclosed. Each elemental circuit is formed of two U-shaped portions arranged opposite each other, one of each U being in contact with the opposite U-end and the second U-end being spaced from the opposite one to form an air gap for the rotor disc, the centers of the ends forming the airgap being angularly shifted with respect to each of the U-ends in contact with each other so as to compensate the third and/or fifth harmonics in the torque due to the driving current.
