  • Patent number: 5373207
    Abstract: A dc brushless vibrator motor employs a cylindrical coreless stator winding unit having at least three stator coils arranged at about an even pitch angle and a rotor that includes an axially extended eccentrically-weighted permanent field magnet that is magnetized so as to have alternate north and south poles about the rotational axis of the rotor. A cross-section of the field magnet in a plane perpendicular to the rotational axis has generally an arcuate or sectorial shape which is within an angular range of 180.degree. to 270.degree. about the rotational axis. The center of mass of the rotor, therefore, is off the rotational axis, thereby causing vibrations.

  • Patent number: 5341057
    Abstract: A dc vibrator motor has a generally cylindrically-shaped magnetically conductive case, a ring-shaped permanent field magnet, and an armature rotor including a shaft. The field magnet has at least four and at most eight alternate north and south pole sections arranged at an even angular pitch coaxially with the shaft. The armature rotor has at least three armature poles having an angular interval of 60.degree. between adjacent poles and at most six armature poles having an angular interval of 30.degree. between any pair of adjacent poles and at least six and at most twelve commutator segments arranged at an even angular pitch coaxially with the shaft. A pair of commutator brushes have an angular interval of at least 45.degree. and at most 90.degree. . Since all of the armature poles are situated within an angular range of 180.degree. about the shaft, the center of mass of the rotor is radially off the shaft, thereby causing vibrations.
