Abstract: An electric motor (M) includes first and second stators (12L, 12R) on the outside forming a rotating magnetic field, an outer rotor (13) disposed inside the first and second stators (12L, 12R) and having first and second induced magnetic poles (38L, 38R), and an inner rotor (14) disposed inside the outer rotor (13) and having first and second permanent magnet (52L, 52R). The phases of the first and second induced magnetic poles (38L, 38R) of the outer rotor (13) are displaced from each other by only half of a predetermined pitch, and the phases of the first and second permanent magnets (52L, 52R) of the inner rotor (14) are displaced from each other by only the predetermined pitch. Accordingly, the first and second stators (12L, 12R) facing the first induced magnetic poles (38L) and the second induced magnetic pole (38R) can be made to have the same phase and polarity, thus simplifying the structures of the first and second stators (12L, 12R).
