Publication number: 20020093260Abstract: An axial directional gap type eccentric rotor having a stop position maintaining unit includes a commutator in which at least one air-core armature coil is arranged, a arc-shaped protruding portion installed at the outer circumference of the commutator so that at least part thereof faces the outer circumference portion of a donut-shaped magnet at the side of a stator, and an arc-shaped weight having magnetism arranged at least at part of the arc-shaped protruding portion. Thus, cost is lowered by reducing the number of the air-core armature coils. The loss of the main magnetic flux is prevented, without sacrificing a gap, by installing a weight having magnetism at a leakage magnetic flux portion. Also, the eccentric rotor can be moved or stopped at a position where the maximum torque is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2002Publication date: July 18, 2002Inventor: Tadao Yamaguchi
