Abstract

This disclosure relates to electric motor/actuators and in particular to an electric motor/actuator for driving a sewing machine and operating sewing machine controls regulating, for instance, the position coordinates of the resulting stitches formed by the sewing machine. The electric motor includes multiple non-magnetic armatures having commutated windings rotatable in a single air gap formed between opposing permanent magnets having their opposed polarized poles facing said armatures and wherein individual ones of said armatures are capable of different output functions free of significant interaction with others of said armatures.
