Abstract

A 1-phase coreless disk-type brushless motor or axial-flow brushless fan motor comprises a single position-detecting element located at a position on a printed circuit board corresponding to one of the magnetically active conductor portions of a stator coil or coils of the stator armature. A cogging-generating stator yoke having a cutaway portion of a specifically determined angular width is positioned relative to the stator coils, such that an end of the cutaway portion thereof is spaced by a distance equal to about one fourth of the pole width from another magnetically active conductor portion of the stator coils, so that the magnet rotor may stop at a position from which the motor can start itself. Various forms of such cogging generating stator yoke are disclosed, including a stator yoke which also serves as a circuit board.
