Abstract: A small-sized and low-cost stepping motor having a short length in the axial direction and a high output is provided. The stepping motor includes a stator made of a soft magnetic material integrally having first and second outer magnetic poles, a bobbin body integrally having a first bobbin externally fitted to the first outer magnetic pole and a second bobbin externally fitted to the second outer magnetic pole, a first coil wound around the first bobbin, a second coil wound around the second bobbin, and a rotor part made of a soft magnetic material having a magnet fixed around a first column part by interference fit. The rotor part is rotatably supported by a first shaft part of a cover in a hole of the rotor part. An urging member made of a nonmagnetic material is rotatably fitted into the hole of the rotor part, and a compression coil spring urging the rotor part in the axial direction together with the urging member is disposed in the hole.

Abstract: The invention provides a driving apparatus comprising: a magnet that is magnetized to at least two poles in a circumferential direction and fixed to a rotor axis formed with a soft magnetic material; first and second coils arranged in the same direction as the magnet with respect to the magnet-axis direction and arranged adjacent to an end surface of the magnet in the magnet-axis direction; the first magnetic pole portion excited by energizing the first coil; the second magnetic pole portion excited to a pole opposite to the first magnetic pole portion by energizing the second coil; and a yoke portion formed with a soft magnetic material for supporting the first and second magnetic pole portions. The first magnetic pole portion includes a first coil insertion portion that is inserted to an internal diameter portion of the first coil, and a first magnet facing portion that is arranged to face a magnetized outer circumferential portion of the magnet with a predetermined gap at a predetermined angle.

Abstract: Provided are a motor and an optical apparatus each including: a rotatable rotor having a cylindrical magnet; a first coil; a first outer magnetic pole portion which is disposed at a center portion of the first coil and which is opposed to an outer circumferential surface of the magnet within a first predetermined angle range; a second outer magnetic pole portion which is adjacent to an outer circumference of the first coil and which is opposed to the outer circumferential surface of the magnet; a first inner magnetic pole portion which is adjacent to the outer circumference of the first coil and which is opposed to an inner circumferential surface of the magnet; a second coil; a third outer magnetic pole portion which is disposed at a center portion of the second coil and which is opposed to the outer circumferential surface of the magnet within a second predetermined angle range; a fourth outer magnetic pole portion which is adjacent to an outer circumference of the second coil and which is opposed to the ou

Abstract: A motor includes a rotor shaft 7 which is fixed in the inside diameter portion of a magnet 6, a first coil 2 which is arranged adjacently to the magnet in the axial direction of the rotor shaft, a first outside magnetic pole portion 1a which is excited by the first coil, is inserted on the inner periphery side of the first coil, and is arranged so as to be opposed to a predetermined angle range of the outer peripheral surface of the magnet with a predetermined gap being provided between the first outside magnetic pole portion and the outer peripheral surface of the magnet, a second coil 4 which is arranged on almost the same plane as the first coil so as to be adjacent to the magnet in the axial direction of the rotor shaft, and a second outside magnetic pole portion 1b which is excited by the second coil, is inserted on the inner periphery side of the second coil, and is arranged so as to be opposed to a predetermined angle range of the outer peripheral surface of the magnet with a predetermined gap being pr

Abstract: There is provided a small-sized and slim driving device which is easy to manufacture and capable of producing high output. A magnet has a cylindrical shape, and at least the outer peripheral surface of the magnet is circumferentially divided into n sections magnetized so as to have alternately different poles. The magnet can rotate about a rotational axis of the cylindrical shape. A coil is arranged axially of the magnet and parallel thereto. An outer magnetic pole portion is disposed to be magnetized by the coil, and has a plurality of hair comb tooth-shaped portions opposed to the magnet and arranged around the magnet such that an angle corresponding to the circumferential width of each of the hair comb tooth-shaped portions opposed to the magnet about the rotational axis of the hollow cylindrical shape of the magnet is equal to a predetermined angle A.

Abstract: There is disclosed an arrangement which has a projection means (LEDs) for projecting a light, a display means (mirror, finder view field range and the like) for guiding the light projected by the projection means to a predetermined display portion to display an index in the display portion, a variable means (masks, motor, decentring axis and the like) for periodically changing a projecting direction of the light of the projection means, and a control means (mask position detection circuit, control circuit and the like) for determining a projection timing of the projection means in accordance with the projecting direction changed by the variable means to control a position of the index on the display portion. By controlling the projection timing of the projection means, the position of the index in the display portion is controlled. Thereby, without irregularly or complicatedly changing the projecting direction itself, the index can be variously displayed.
