Abstract: An electromagnetic, two phased pulse motor rotatable in either of two rotary directions has a radially-magnetized rotor with a rotor axis and four magnetic poles of alternating polarities distributed evenly about the rotor axis whereby adjoining magnetic axes are oppositely polarized, and has two magnetic coils coupled magnetically to the rotor via two stator plates, each of which has two stator poles that are arranged relative to each other symmetrically reversed to a center line. Two of the stator poles directly adjoin each other and are offset from each other by an angle of 45.degree., and another two of the stator poles are offset from each other by an angle of 135.degree.. Each of the first two stator poles has a pole surface disposed at a substantially constant distance from a surface of the rotor. Each of the second two stator poles has first and second pole surfaces disposed respectively at different distances from the rotor surface.
