Abstract: A claw-pole type stepping motor comprises: a rotor assembly shaped substantially cylindrical, and having a center shaft; and a stator assembly composed of two cup-shaped stator units which are coupled to each other coaxially so as to axially sandwich the rotor assembly, and which each include a bobbin having a magnet wire wound therearound, and two pole tooth arrays magnetically connected to each other and shifted in phase from each other by an electrical angle of 180 degrees. In the motor, each stator unit further includes a cover ring which protects the magnet wire wound around the bobbin against resin injected when the stator unit is resin-molded for an integrated solid structure. The motor structured as described above can be successfully resin-molded so as to enable elimination of a motor case, thus achieving downsizing for the dimension of the eliminated motor case while maintaining a sufficient mechanical strength.

Abstract: A claw-pole type stepping motor which includes a stator in which coils are arranged in association with a pair of inner and outer yokes and a pair of pole tooth sections thereby forming a magnetic circuit; and a rotor magnet which is rotatably disposed opposite to the pair of pole tooth sections, each of the pair of pole tooth sections being prepared discretely from each of the inner and outer yokes by punching out a soft magnetic steel plate so as to form a piece having a belt portion and a plurality of pole teeth integrally connected to the belt portion and thereafter rolling into a cylindrical shape. Thus, it becomes possible to set arbitrarily individual dimensions of each of the pole teeth as required by the characteristics of a motor, thereby providing an excellent high output and miniature motor.

Abstract: A stator structure of a claw-pole type stepping motor which has an outer stator yoke having a plurality of pole teeth; an inner stator yoke having a plurality of pole teeth which are intermeshed with the plurality of pole teeth of the outer stator yoke with a gap therebetween; a coil disposed around the circumferential periphery defined by the pole teeth; and a covering which covers the coil. The stator external walls are only partially formed so as to allow the covering to be exposed in regions where the stator external walls are not formed. The stator structure of the present invention enables a dimensional reduction in size of a motor by a dimension corresponding to double the thickness of the stator yoke material, without impairing the performance of the motor.

A motor 2 comprises a case 4, a stator 6 secured inside the case 4, a rotor 10 formed into one piece with a rotating shaft 8. The stator 6 comprises stator yokes 32 and the stator yokes are secured in a radial manner in the case 4. Furthermore, resin 58 is filled in between the stator 6 and the case 4 with a space for the rotor being left. The stator yokes 32 comprise a salient pole 34, a bobbin 36 for holding the salient pole 34, and a magnetic wire 38 wound around the bobbin 36. A collar 39b of the bobbin 36 is formed so as to contact each other with notches 3 formed on two, upper and lower edge portions. Accordingly, combining two bobbins 36, 36 allows through-holes 5 penetrating the collar 39b thereof.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a rotary electric machine which has high assembly accuracy, high heat dissipating efficiency, and excellent durability at the bearing portion. A motor comprises a case, a stator secured within the case, and a rotor formed into one piece with a rotary shaft. The case is provided, on both end faces, with flanges, and one of the flanges is provided with a ball bearing. A stator is radially secured within the case, resin is filled in between the stator and the case with a space of the rotor being left, and a bearing housing and a boss are formed on one side. An open portion is formed in between ribs of the bearing housing, and inserting the bearing into the bearing housing causes a part of the bearing to be exposed through the open portion to fixedly contact with the flange. This allows supporting the bearing securely, and allows frictional heat generated, and the like, to dissipate to the outside via the flange.

Different from being directly mounted on the rotor shaft, since the base 12 is provisionally held on the rotor shaft, the operation efficiency at the time of assembling the motor is outstandingly increased.

The rotary shaft remains not in direct contact with (spaced apart from) the alignment bushing and, acting as a leadscrew, can thus rotate at a higher accuracy, eliminating intrinsic drawbacks of the FDD motor.
