Abstract
An electric motor includes a housing, a rotor and a stator. The rotor includes a rotor shaft rotatably supported on the housing. The rotor includes a plurality of disk portions disposed on the rotor shaft coaxially therewith and spaced from each other axially of the rotor shaft. Each of the disk portions has a thickness gradually decreasing radially outwardly thereof. The stator includes a plurality of annular portions disposed on the housing coaxially with the rotor shaft and spaced from each other axially of the rotor shaft. Each of the annular portions has a thickness gradually decreasing radially inwardly thereof. The annular portions and the disk portions are loosely fitted with each other with a gap formed therebetween. Opposed side surfaces of the annular portion and disk portion are conical. Each of the annular portions has a coil disposed in each conical side surface thereof. Each of the disk portions has permanent magnets disposed at least in each conical side surface thereof.
