Abstract

A hybrid stepper motor having two alternately excited magnetic systems, one providing positions of 0.degree. and 180.degree., and the other positions of 90.degree. and 270.degree.. To minimize position offset due to unequal flux through the two air gaps of the unexcited system, a nonmagnetic space is provided to reduce the relative difference in reluctance between the magnetic paths which include the two air gaps of the unexcited magnetic system.
