Abstract: A compact stepping motor for an electronic clock which features high stability in the direction of the motor rotation and small electric power consumption is provided with a rotor and a stator that surrounds the rotor and includes portions having a recess formed therein and two pairs of projecting magnetic pole pieces positioned asymmetrically relative to the end of their respective recesses.
Abstract: A fluid seal is composed of an upper oxidized sintered metallic layer and a lower unoxidized sintered metallic layer integral with the upper layer. The upper layer is in rubbing contact with the radial surface of a rotating matrix of the regenerator portion of a gas turbine engine and the lower layer is connected through metal bellows to the housing of the matrix.
