Abstract

A direct-current motor has a single coil having a plurality of active branches and a rotor having a permanent magnet. The active branches are arranged in sequence essentially without gaps. The permanent magnet has magnetic segments which overlap all the active branches. The number of magnetic poles is at least equal to the number of active branches. As a result of the magnetic overlap of the coil and the permanent magnet, a greater efficiency is achieved.
