Abstract: A magnetizing type induction motor includes a conventional rotor enclosed within a novel stator. The stator has a pair of crescent-shaped pole pieces, the thickness of the stator pieces at their centers being larger than the thickness at the opposite edges thereof. These stator pieces are secured together by a pair of end cover plates which are provided with fitting grooves for receiving the stator pieces, and coupling pins are installed between the facing edges of the stator pieces. This magnetizing type induction motor is easily miniaturized and is not subject to frequent failures so that it can be reliably used in automated apparatuses.
