Abstract: In an outer rotor type hybrid stepping motor, when assuming that a teeth pitch is ? and a tooth width is Tw (tooth width ratio is Tw/?) and in case of Tw/?=0.3, the maximum torque can be obtained when a gap average magnetic flux density Bg is 1.6-1.8T, which is determined by dividing a total magnetic flux amount calculated from residual magnetic flux density Br of a magnet and surface area A of the magnet with small teeth surface area At of a rotor. Since the small teeth surface area At can be expressed by a product of the small tooth width Tw, number of small teeth Nr and a lamination thickness L, an optimum lamination thickness can be determined with only one solution. Further, in case of different teeth width ratios, the following gap magnetic flux densities Bg assume optimum values, in that when Tw/?=0.35, 1.4-1.5T, when Tw/?=0.4, 1.2-1.4T, when Tw/?=0.45, 1.0-1.2T are set.
