Abstract: A permanent-magnet type brushless motor has a rotor which is made by integrally forming a rotating magnetic pole comprising a cylindrical multi-pole anisotropic magnet, a shaft and an elastic insulating supporting member having rigidity lower than at least that of the shaft. The multi-pole anisotropic magnet causes its magnetic flux to flow to form the closed magnetic circuit, thereby eliminating the necessity of forming the closed magnetic circuit using an inner stator core in the magnet required for the radial anisotropic magnet. A cylindrical casing holding therein a stator core.

Abstract: When an electromagnetic coil receives an electric supply, a stationary core, a yoke, and a movable core form a magnetic circuit. The movable core is attracted to a side of the stationary core against the force provided by a return spring member. A fuel passage for injection of fuel is then opened. Axial direction stepwise differences are formed on the movable core. One end face of the stationary core opposes the stepwise difference through a first gap. A projection portion of the yoke is provided toward an inner side of the yoke. This projection portion opposes a position of a side to provide an axial direction magnetic attraction through a second gap. By the provision of the first and second gaps, plural axial direction magnetic attraction gaps are formed and become a part of the magnetic circuit. By increasing a magnetic attraction efficiency of the movable core, an improvement in performance of a fuel injector and a fuel injector having a compact size and a light weight structure can be attained.
