Abstract: The present invention provides a stator structure, which keeps a lower cogging torque in the rotation direction of a motor at the same time of raising the magnetic reluctance between adjacent tooth holders of the stator. A tooth-holding end of each of each of the tooth holders in the rotation direction of heavy load is reserved, while the other tooth-holding end in the reverse direction is cut, hence forming a single-arm tooth holder with two asymmetric sides. Because a higher magnetic reluctance is generated between adjacent single-arm tooth holders, the self coupling phenomenon of magnetic lines of force between adjacent tooth holders of the stator can be reduced when the magneto motor operates under a high load. Armature reaction of the magneto motor operating under a high load can thus be intensified to enhance the operational efficiency, stability, and smoothness thereof.
