Abstract
The motor comprises a stator formed in one piece and having an opening formed therein, a yoke of high magnetic permeability and a coil wound round the yoke. The rotor comprises a shaft and a bar magnet. The opening has a first part all points of which are disposed at a first distance from the rotation axis of the rotor and a second part the points of which are disposed at second distances, different from the first distance, from that rotation axis. The invention is applicable particularly to stepping motors having a low consumption of electric current, e.g. for time pieces.
