Abstract

A field magnet for miniature motors of a type having a stator comprising a field magnet fixedly fitted to a motor housing, an end plate fitted to an open end of the motor housing; an a rotor comprising a rotor winding wound on a rotor core; electric current being fed to the rotor winding via a commutator making sliding contact with current feeding brushes that are held by brush holders fixedly fitted to the end plate; in which cogging during motor rotation is reduced to make motor rotation smooth by forming a magnet that has at the magnetic poles thereof higher maximum magnetic energy product than any other regions.
