Abstract

Disclosed is a multi-phase flat-type PM stepping motor comprising a first motor unit having a first stator unit and a first rotor unit, and a second motor unit having a second stator unit and a second rotor unit. The first stator unit has a plurality of air-core coils that are radially arranged on a first isolating magnetic disc. The first rotor unit has a plurality of permanent magnets that are alternatively magnetized in N-pole and S-pole and radially arranged on a second magnetic disc with a predetermined air gap with respect to the coil surface of the first stator unit. In the same manner, the second stator unit has a plurality of air-core coils that are radially arranged on a third isolating magnetic disc, and the second rotor unit has a plurality of permanent magnets arranged on a fourth magnetic disc. The first and second motor units are coaxial and symmetric with each other about a non-magnetic disc arranged therebetween.
