    Abstract: An inner core portion includes an inner gap having a length in the first direction larger than that of the outer gap in a center in the first direction. A control device is configured to switch between a one-phase operation of causing a current to flow through any one of the first outer coil, the second outer coil, and the inner coil to operate, a two-phase operation of causing a current to flow through any two of the first outer coil, the second outer coil, and the inner coil to operate, and a three-phase operation of causing a current to flow through all of the first outer coil, the second outer coil, and the inner coil to operate. The control device selects the inner coil in the one-phase operation.
