Abstract

A motor includes (a) a stator having a stator core wound with a coil, (b) a rotor having a magnet facing the stator core via an annular space and a yoke disposed on an outer wall of the magnet, and (c) an unbalancing weight disposed on an outer wall of the yoke. This structure allows the motor to be small in size, light in weight, thin, flat and to function as a vibrating motor producing maximum vibration at low power consumption. The motor thus contributes to realizing a portable device with a small size, a low weight, and which is operable for many hours.
