Patent number: 7732963Abstract: A small-sized motor includes a field magnet attached to an inner circumferential surface of a metallic motor casing and having four or more magnetic poles. The field magnet is formed of a single ring-shaped magnet member having a predetermined thickness with respect to the radial direction and a predetermined length with respect to the thrust direction. At each of portions between the magnetic poles formed through magnetization, the magnet member has a thin portion having a reduced thickness with respect to the radial direction, the thin portion being formed by cutting the magnet member from the radially outward side. The magnetization is performed in the radial direction so as to alternately form S poles and N poles in the circumferential direction. At each of portions between the magnetic poles, the magnet member may have cut portions formed at opposite end portions of the magnet member with respect to the thrust direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2007Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Mabuchi Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Satoshi Iizuka, Mitsushi Kinoshita

Patent number: 7579745Abstract: A rotor is operable to rotate in a rotating direction, and is provided with five teeth that define five slots therebetween at regular intervals in the rotating direction. A pair of arc-shaped magnets surrounds the rotor, and faces each other through the rotor. A value of a circumferential angle between two adjacent slots with respect to an axis of the rotor is defined as a. A value of a circumferential angle between opposite end edges of an inner surface of the magnet in a circumferential direction of the magnet, which faces the rotor, with respect to the axis of the rotor is defined as b. The value of b falls within a range from 23 to 25 when the value of a is assumed as 12.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2005Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: Mitsumi Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kensuke Yamada, Yuuki Takahashi, Masami Ito, Takeo Miyajima
